Job Search Support Part 3: Make Networking Work for You

This Limited Podcast Series was recorded on August 27, 2024 with 50+ job seekers in attendance. Michele Dye, a former hiring manager, gave a state of the current job market and stayed on the call taking questions from the audience for 2 hours. Dyenamic Careers has created short podcast episodes from this call to help you quickly find the answers you need to get hired in this job market.

Want to speed up your job search? Consider networking! A recent study showed that 67% of the hires made right now are through referrals and connections. If you’re not leaning on the people you know and the people they know, your job search will take longer. If you think networking doesn’t work or that it can’t work for you because you don’t know the right people, then this episode is for you.

In this episode, I discuss:

• 01:00 How to expand your network.

• 02:51 The opportunities that can grow your network and help you upskill.

• 05:26 What to do when you’re landing interviews through networking but not getting the job.

• 06:29 Why companies favor referrals over cold applicants.
