Have you heard of the "hidden job market"?

It sounds like a myth, but the truth is that there are jobs available that are just much harder to find because they're not posted on Monster.com or Indeed.com.

In the video below, I'm going to tell you more about it and let you in on a few secrets to tapping into the hidden job market.

Job Search Expert — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 10:24:12 +0000

In the video below, I'm going to talk to you about the part of the job interview that takes the most courage, but gets you the biggest reward: closing. This is something that you won't typically find in even the most helpful tips for job interview preparation, but it's a vital skill to learn if you really want to stand out.

I'll tell you about how to do it, what to say, and why it's so important to securing the job offer.

This is the free webinar I talk about in the video that's going to help you so much in your interviews:

Keeping Your Job Search a Secret?

Job Search Expert — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 07:02:16 +0000

I recently spoke with a candidate who is loving the Career Confidential products, and has already started using LinkedIn to contact her first hiring manager. She's making great strides, except for one thing: When I mentioned posting about her job search on Facebook, she said, "No, I can't post on Facebook because my family doesn't know I don't have a job."

So, naturally, I thought that there must be a lot of job seekers out there who might be reluctant to let others in their social circle know that they're job hunting.

But I think that's crazy. How can you not share with your family? It's not fair to them or you. And I think it's a missed opportunity. You never know where your next job lead is coming from. Facebook is a great resource for your job search.

I think you need the support, too. And it's stressful to keep a secret. (I mean, there are times it's best to keep your job search a secret, but while you're unemployed is not one of those times.)

I always think more information is better.

Job Interview Question: "What Is Your Sales Style?"

Job Search Expert — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 11:06:26 +0000

"What is your sales style?" If you're in sales, you will definitely be asked this question at some point in your interview. (Probably right before, "Can you sell me this pen?") It's one of many common sales interview questions.

As a sales recruiter, I expect a certain kind of answer when I ask someone that during the initial phone interview. But in many cases, I don't get it. In the video below, I'll let you in on what recruiters and hiring managers are looking for when they ask you about your sales style.
