Today's Jobhunting Statistics and Strategy #5901

Looking for a new job today is very different from looking for a job even five years ago. Here are a few statistics and tips to keep in mind when organizing your thoughts to formulate your plan.
1. 80% of new jobs today are acquired through networking.
2. You find a new job by as much as 40% faster when working with an employment coach.
3. As many as 48% of companies admit they have passed over or eliminated a candidate as a result of information they've discovered about a candidate on-line.

When looking for a new job today, "googling" yourself at least once a week is a must! Make sure your resume contains POWERFUL content, not just duties or responsibilities have a networking strategy in order and only then hit the ground running!

Happy hunting!
