#proteuscareermanagement statistics have shown consistently over the years that only 8% of our clients find their next job via the advertised market.
This includes job boards, job databases, LinkedIn, online media adverts and head hunter, company and recruiter web sites.
However, because these adverts are available so conveniently on our devices they are often the only means used by job searchers!
A recent survey (Feb to Aug 2020) showed that 83% of the people who sought
#careeradvice from Proteus with their
#jobsearch used EXCLUSIVELY and ONLY the above methods.
No wonder it takes professional people such a long time to secure a new role.
Most people's biggest challenge is that they don't have the right emphasis on the most effective job search methods.
Consider the five step process for achievement:
1. Objective - know what you want to achieve.
2. Goal - convert the objective into a SMART goal.
3. Plan - define how you are going to make it happen.
4. Act - execute the plan by putting in the effort.
5. Focus - continuously remind yourself of the objective.
Clearly, if the objective is a new career position, the critical element is number 3 - you need the right
#selfmarketingstrategy.
