Why Your Job Search Networking Isn't Getting Your Resume Around The ATS

Networking is often a great way to find a new job.

Unfortunately, your networking isn't working. When you get interviews, they are poor quality, don't advance often, and when they do advance someone else gets the job.

You're not alone - The way that most job seekers have been taught to network makes them too late to land the job they want. You're probably making similar mistakes.

It's because the way you're probably networking is a method that allows HR policies (all unsolicited resumes must be sent to HR) and programs (Employee Referral Bonus programs) to recapture your resume into the Applicant Tracking System you've tried to avoid.

That's why the way that most job seekers network (and you probably are too) delivers about the same poor odds as applying online. It's so common because most career coaches, authors and outplacement firms teach this, even though it's not very effective (but it's easy to teach).

But what if there was a more effective way to network for a job? What if there was a networking method that was successful in avoiding ATSs? What if there was a job search process that would lead you to more high quality interviews, more hiring process advancement, and more offers?

I help people solve the most difficult job search problems, including getting past ATSs, ageism, remote positions, product/job function/career/industry/ geographic change, job search acceleration, unemployment, "bouncy" recent career path, job search turnaround, seeking raise/promotion, industry in decline/consolidation, long term gaps, family leave, or other of the most challenging job search issues.
