Dear Experts, During my time of unemployment, I make it a point to read volumes of expert tips to implement a successful search. One that I continue to read is working your "plan" of reaching out to hiring managers at target companies to seek out those unadvertised potential openings. How do you successfully get in touch with the hiring manager for a support role, which most likely will be intercepted by the current person in that role? I find it a tricky situation to maneuver, but know that 80% of jobs are found through these unopened positions. Here is how our T.A.P. experts answered this question:Q#202 Get info intvw 4 advice/guidance/insight in2 industry/co; bld rel; do smthg 4 them. (@juliaerickson) Q#202 Advice: Try to find where they hang out either in RL or online and connect there. (@louise_fletcher) Q#202 Search LinkedIn; Twitter; job boards (contact info/public openings); call the co; find onnets where emp go. (@teenarose)Q#202 Try reaching out on LinkedIn. That way you don't have to go through a 3rd party. (@gradversity) Our Twitter Advice Project (T.A.P.) is no longer an active campaign. To find an answer to the above question, please use the "Search" box in the right-hand column of this website.
