| Unadvertised
jobs — or finding advertised jobs in sources you don't know about! |
| Job
hunters actively seeking employers |
|
|
A large percentage of jobs
are not advertised. If you don't have success with advertised
job sources, you should search for potential employers who might
give an internship, co-op or full-time job to you if you take initiative
to do some research on the organization, make contact and make a good
pitch. |
|
Many employers post jobs
on their own web sites, but you need a way to find out that those
companies and organizations exist. |
