After Dark part 2: The Hidden Job Market and made up statistics

Corporate Pizza Party

Ever heard of the hidden job market? Or perhaps that 80% of jobs are never publicly posted? We're here to tell you it's not as cloaked in mystery as some would have you believe. We take a hard look at the fabled "hidden" jobs and deconstruct the myth that's been leading job seekers astray.

But first it takes us a little bit to get there, the 3 of us were in quite a mood during this late night recording, stick with us as we talk about our weight gain, wrestlemania, Farah's public speaking engagements and call out our social media manager for no reason at all.

Wrap up the conversation with a discussion about the true value of networking in the job hunt. We contrast the supposed shortcuts to career success with the reality of consistent effort and relationship-building. As we explore the dangers of predatory career advice, we share personal anecdotes and remind listeners that the job market requires informed navigation, not just hope. So, grab a slice and tune in for an after-dark episode that's as enlightening as it is entertaining (to record, we have no idea if listening to us be like this is fun)!

In this Episode:

0:00- Perhaps the most off the wall, forgetting the plot, long show opening we've ever done

17:40- Mike live reads the 5 ways to access the hidden job market
