Is your phone ringing to schedule interviews? Are you maximizing your earnings' potential and getting multiple job offers? If the answer to any of these questions is NO, then now is the time to broaden your job search techniques and use all the tools available to you.

Each job search method has it's area of strength but none provides 100%, stand-alone success. Follow each tip to take advantage of your resources without wasting precious time.

Networking
Networking is proven to be the most effective means of securing a new position. Recent studies have shown that at least 50% to 60% of all jobs are obtained through networking. Let Marty show you how to develop a networking style that's comfortable for you.

Newspaper advertising
A viable source of openings (and names of companies in a hiring mode). Accounts for about 15% of jobs found.

Recruiting organizations
Many companies still rely exclusively on recruiters exclusively to fill their positions. At the executive level, companies retain high powered search firms. Contact Marty to discover how to get on their 'list'.

The Internet
The internet is now a significant player in the job search process. There are an increasing number of candidate and job databases to expand the boundaries of your job search. While the internet may seem like a job search cure-all, don't depend on it exclusively.

Direct mail
An often overlooked methodology. With today's technology, information is readily available on industries, companies, recruiters and venture capitalists. You can create finely tuned mailings that can effectively tap the hidden job market.

Resume blasting
A new phenomenon on the Internet. Resume posting organizations can blast your resume to hundreds or thousands of companies and recruiting firms almost instantly. An excellent way to jump-start your job search.

Secure your future by investing your time
The unemployed should devote at least 35 to 40 hours per week in their job search. The gainfully employed, (but actively seeking) should invest at least 15 hours.
