Ways to the Perfect Job

Most vacancies are not advertised publicly and can therefore not be found on online recruitment platforms etc. The Forbes article “6 Ways To Crack The ‘Hidden’ Job Market” addresses this aspect and offers good practical advice for more success with your job search by effective networking.

At various points in my own articles, I recommend that you should follow the slogan: “Don’t prove, just explain.” in your applications. It is important to take both aspects seriously. On this page, I explain this in more detail and recommend reading a great article by Jeff Haden titled “Quit Using These 10 Words to Describe Yourself on LinkedIn”.

I have always liked the actual paper magazine “Inc.” much more than its corresponding website, but I do recommend reading this short article on it: “8 Signs It’s Time to Take Your Skills Elsewhere”. It cuts the topic of its title to the chase and can function as a little checklist if it is time for you to move on too.

A few days ago, a friend sent me this article from the New York Times, which I would also recommend for your reading. Even if the content primarily refers to the American job market, these insights can also be applied to conditions in other countries.
