The Job Market is an Iceberg

I had a great informational interview with a smart guy a few weeks ago.  He was already doing a great job of networking and we talked about how he could tweak just a few things to be even more productive.

He wrote me recently and told me he landed a great job at a well-known PR Agency.  He said that he interviewed for one job... it wasn't quite a fit... but he made such an impression that they hired him for another position!

So here's the reality.  There are tons of jobs that never hit Monster or a company's Web site.  Those postings are the "tip of the iceberg."  It's likely that a company will create a position for you, or hire you for a newly created position down the road, if you get out there and meet people!

So step away from the keyboard and meet influential people at your target companies!
