This module explains how to conduct a ‘Customized’ job search to find unadvertised job openings.
Use this strategy if:
- You have time to look for a new job (e.g. landing a new job is NOT urgent)
- You want to look for job opportunities at companies that really appeal to you… or
- You want to simultaneously explore job opportunities at companies that really appeal to you AND get as many interviews as you can at as many employers as you can.
If you must land a new job quickly, I recommend skipping this strategy for now and using the “Universal” Hidden Job Search Strategy – and then coming back to this strategy after you start a Universal Hidden Job Search Strategy.
