Although it appears easier to apply online, being seen can be impossible.
When you apply to a job through the "black hole" or you're wondering why there's no communication after your interviews, it's because your amazing skills and the value you offer has been buried by recruiting processes, policies and bad
communication skills by the recruiter.
My name is Penny, and I'm Founder of 2Actify. I'm an advocate and coach for job seekers that want control of their career search.
Candidates need to be armed with the tools for success in finding a job so they are not 100% dependent on applying online and dependent on recruiters.
Being Seen...
The way to be seen is to market yourself. It sounds ominous but it's an authentic perspective of your skills and achievements that will lead to job referrals and interviews to use for your
career lifetime.
2Actify clients learn how to find and develop a direct line to hiring managers and sometimes, even before a job is posted. They know
what they need to do to generate career activity and have a much better chance at getting a job through a referral---it can happen fast!
This is a proven strategy and we just delivered a training webinar on GETTING JOB REFERRALS. Being referred through relationship building is also the
