Finding your ideal job is never easy. But by seeking the advice of an expert into the most effective job search strategies, you will greatly increase your chances of success. Fortunately, there are better ways of looking for work than just scanning newspapers and logging onto job sites.

Whether you are seeking your first job, a new position or are moving into an entirely different career, Tap the Hidden Job Market puts you behind the steering wheel and on the way to where the jobs really are. Bureau of Statistics figures show that only 17.2% of jobs are found through newspapers and Internet sites. The majority of job opportunities are found in the ‘hidden job market’, and this essential and impartial book tells you how to uncover them.

Tap the Hidden Job Market is tailored specifically for the Australian marketplace and is written in an inspirational yet down-to-earth style which is sympathetic to the concerns faced by job-seekers. It presents a ‘no hype’ approach to effective self-promotion and finding the job you really want. Topics include:

• The mystery behind the job market – understanding why jobs aren’t advertised
  
• Defining your career objectives and selling points
  
• Getting organised and staying positive
  
• How to market yourself – common-sense pointers for everyone
