Because
of the increasing amount of applications per job posting, companies do not have
time nor resources to properly review all submitted applications and even tend
to avoid posting openings. The trend is to an increasing, so called hidden
market, and to a decreasing probability to receive any form of feedback when
applying to a job advertisement.
Since the
chance to be selected for an interview, when a job advertisement is published
is getting smaller, it is making more and more sense to invest the largest part
of a job search activity in networking.
This is
the reason why many discussion topics, both on the job4U2 circle on LinkedIn
and on the blog, are about networking:
- How do you make sure you follow-up efficiently?
- Networking in Switzerland...when located outside the biggest Swiss cities
- Several references to networking events all across Switzerland
- Which networking event did you recently attend and that you found interesting?
- Growing your network
- Pitching?
The 4U2 programs
offered by Swiss based companies in partnership with job4U2 to their employees’
partners are placing networking centrally in the job search process, bringing
support, method and practical tools to the partner to accelerate the creation
of a comprehensive network in Switzerland.
