The following is a guest post from Lorraine Russo courtesy of Recruiting Blogswap.

The short answer is no, jobs aren’t ‘hidden’–at least not on purpose. They are simply the ones that are not advertised or do not yet exist.

How can a job not yet exist? Simple. A soon-to-be-created job is one that is developed after you meet up with a hiring manager at, say, a trade show or industry association.

Believe it or not, the majority of job seekers do not know how to ‘find’ jobs other than at the traditional sites such as CareerBuilder, Monster, etc.

These days, only an innovative and aggressive approach will help ferret out those jobs and get hired.

Readers, what are YOU doing differently to find a job? What changes have you made to locate both JOBS and HIRING MANAGERS?
