Today's job market is extremely competitive. While
completing an MBA/MS degree is impressive, the most effective
candidates are those who take control of their career and adopt a
multiple strategy approach. A proactive job search not only
involves responding to leads in the 'visible' job market, but
identifying opportunities in the 'hidden' job market. The
majority of job openings are unadvertised, because employers
generally prefer hiring candidates through word-of-mouth
referrals. The key to finding the right job is being aware of
your options, determining your priorities and knowing how to market
yourself to a potential employer. Before you begin your
search, consider the following eight strategies listed below.
