RESEARCH AND NETWORKING

Research

An important aspect of preparing yourself to conduct an effective job search is doing the research on your target marketplace.  This is another area where the staff of The Schultz Group can contribute.  Because we specialize in IT, we understand the different career paths in the industry.  We know what salary levels are competitive, and what companies in the Northwest provide good growth opportunity.  We are happy to share our expertise.

There are many regional directories and business publications that are good sources of information on target companies. The Puget Sound Business Journal and the Washington Software Alliance Directory are two that offer information on regional and technology-oriented companies.

Networking

Any employment survey will tell you that the majority of jobs for experienced IT professionals are filled through an informal network. Entry-level jobs tend to be filled though the classified ads. As you progress in your career it is especially important that you tap into the unadvertised job market to find the best opportunities. You are the person who is the most capable of networking to find the best opportunities for you. Networking is another area where partnering with a firm like The Schultz Group can enhance your efforts.

As you progress in your career it is a good idea to stay in touch with those people whom you admire as being highly competent. They are your best contacts to help you understand appropriate career choices. Establishing a long-term relationship with a search consultant you trust is also invaluable.

We are professionals at maintaining a dynamic network. At any given time, we are working with our clients on multiple job opportunities. We know what job skills are in demand, and we know which ones will be difficult to find. We want to become your search consultant. Ultimately, we want to find that right "fit" for you to help you continue to progress in your career.
