Many positions are filled through referrals and internal networks before they ever reach job boards. If you’re only applying online, you could be missing most opportunities. Here’s how to tap into the hidden job market:

• Reach out to professionals in roles you’re interested in
• Ask for informational conversations, not job offers
• Let people know what you’re looking for
• Stay in touch so you’re top of mind when opportunities come up

Don’t just apply, connect. Your next opportunity might come from a conversation, not a posting.
