Targeting potential employers
Many work opportunities are not advertised. It is common practice for jobseekers to search
out these opportunities. When approaching potential employers, conducting research to
identify links between your selling points (your skills, experience, interests and
qualifications) and an employer’s needs, increases your chances of success. Research will
also reduce the number of approaches you need to make, saving you time in the end.
Developing and using your personal and professional networks is also a valuable tool in
finding these ‘hidden’ opportunities.
