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.
