Companies frequently do not possess sufficient staff to manage the volume of job seekers that apply on-line.

Bob Snelling, a former owner of Snelling and Snelling an international employment and staffing services firm, recommends the following:

First, re-submit on-line applications at least monthly for job postings that remain open. The key to any re-submission is to alter your application or resume just enough to differentiate it from the first or prior submission. The goal is to catch the attention of a reviewer that may have overlooked or rejected the application previously.

Second, call the company posting the job to verify the status as open or filled. While you have a company representative on the phone, it is perfectly acceptable to inquire about other job openings that may be available, and to request the name and e-mail address of the department head responsible for such openings."

Here is where you can double or triple your job search effectiveness. Think GEOGRAPHY. Who else is nearby that you can contact about a possible job opening. Here's how: In Zip Code sequence, sort, search and call NEARBY employers you select from your Hidden Job Market list.

Keep in mind that the majority (as much as 80% according to some experts) of placements will come from the Hidden (Non Advertised) Job Market. Yes, it involves contact work. And Yes, you will have a better percentage chance of getting a job interview than relying ONLY on a potential employer contacting you.
