The way of job hunting is very particular.

Introduce several job-hunting methods with the highest success rate.

Author: Zhao Wenhua

One day, the boss of a big publishing group received a letter from a job seeker, which said, "It's your loss not to invite me." So the boss decided to meet him. Not to mention the interview results of this job-hunting hero, so far he has surpassed hundreds of other well-behaved job seekers and won a rare interview opportunity. Whether this case is true or not, it tells us how to find a job by surprise and how to stay ahead of others. We found that among dozens of students in the same school, in the same class, with little difference in all aspects, the success rate of job hunting will vary greatly, largely because of the different job hunting methods and strategies.

Richardson bolles introduced five most effective job-hunting methods in his book "The Bible of Job Hunting":

Creative job hunting method-86% success rate

Its main feature is to try to visit the company's decision-makers according to their own expertise and professional knowledge before asking about the vacancies of interested companies. Practice shows that the fewer job advertisements there are, the fewer competitors there are. If they are favored by employers, they may tailor a position for you.

Go directly to the person in charge of the company-the success rate is 47%

This method is very difficult, because it is difficult for you to find the opportunity to meet the CEOs of multinational companies and large companies, and it is likely that it will take you several weeks or even longer to meet each other.

Find a friend to introduce you-the success rate is 34%

As the saying goes, "One more friend leads to another road", you can ask every friend you know to see where there is a vacancy. As a friend, especially a close friend, I know all about myself, and China people are very considerate and loyal. The introduction of friends is an important way to find an ideal job.

Find a relative to introduce you-the success rate is 27%

Asking relatives about various job opportunities can expand the scope of job hunting. You should give some more detailed personal information to your relatives and friends in advance, such as the job category and personal expertise you require.

Using the employment guidance center of the alma mater-the success rate is 2 1%

Due to the accumulation of graduates' market-oriented employment experience in recent years, the employment guidance centers of various schools have established good cooperative relations with many large employers. They have a comprehensive grasp of employment information and job vacancies, and because they are their own graduates, the "arm" of the school will eventually turn inward.

The most important thing is that you are not afraid of "losing face" and have the spirit of perseverance when using these five job-hunting methods with high success rate.

Richardson Bolles also mentioned four job-hunting methods that most people are familiar with and use, but the failure rate was higher than expected. For example, relying on job advertisements-the failure rate is 76%-95%, and the higher the position, the higher the failure rate; Depending on the employment agency-the failure rate is 76%-95%, which also depends on the ranking; Rely on job advertisements in professional or trade publications in the industry-the failure rate is 93%. By sending a large number of resumes-the failure rate is 92%.
