Career Transition Services Question:

Most people start with the Internet when they are looking to make a career move. There are thousands of job posting sites and millions of jobs online. With the rise of automation in the search process, you would imagine this is where most of the jobs must be found. However, studies and surveys indicate that 60 percent to 80 percent or more of all jobs are still filled through word of mouth and networking. It is still who you know that counts. The higher level the position, the more the networking pays off. Use the Internet to find and refine your targets, and to research companies, industries and executives. The world of information is invaluable when doing your due diligence.
