Find what you need on professional networks or search engines

Managers who hire people (your future employer)
Heads of departments like department leaders
Executives (they respond more than you think especially at organizations)

Message example Hey I heard that the company is getting bigger in a certain area I've achieved results in my current or prior job and I'm interested in learning how your team handles challenges Can we talk for a short time

2 The Hack for the Hidden Job Market

When this happens a lot of jobs are made right away
A manager meets someone who is good at what they do (you)
They know they need help but they haven't put up the job yet
Ask "What is your team's biggest problem right now" or "What skills would be most useful for a new hire" when you're talking to someone

Why networking is better than applying online

Advantage
There is no competition because you are the only candidate
Your abilities and personality are more important than your resume
Companies can hire people faster without going through long HR processes

Example For a project a person sent a note to an executive The executive was so amazed that they made him a job right away
