Hidden Job Market / Networking / Avoid the Job Boards

If you’re doing your job search thoughtfully (with a goal that can be fulfilled by leveraging the hidden job market (i.e. networking) and not wasting your time trolling the job boards (an inefficient use of time), you’re looking for the right fit where you can do more than just collect a check, but can learn, contribute, and truly thrive.  

I am not an advocate of relying on job boards - if you send out 100 resumes, you will be lucky to get a 3% response rate, 5% tops. In short, your time is better spend networking to identify opportunities through resources BEFORE they posting appears on a job board. The best opportunities are rarely found on Indeed, Glassdoor, etc.
