Peter's New Jobs

The Hidden Job Market:

What exactly is the hidden job market?  The reality is that most openings are never advertised but rather go to people known to the employer.  How do you become the person that employers contact?  How do you create visibility so that employers remember you and think of you when they have an opening?  Join Len Fardella of Peter’s New Jobs for a lively discussion of the hidden job market and what you can do to uncover it. Here's one hint. We end the evening with a fun speed networking session.

Come to the first meeting of a new season of the Career Reboot Group, get great advice, and boost your job searching techniques.  The Career Reboot Group meets every second Monday at Emerald Plaza Branch.
