And some even put that figure higher to around 85%
What does that mean for you?
That means that if you are only throwing your resume at application after application that you are competing with all the other people for maybe 15-30% of the available jobs. It means you don't know if the position you are applying for may be a waste of your time if someone comes along that knows someone who knows the hiring manager. So what do you do?
That said,, my previous experience and advice is harder now because of pandemic. I was in your boat, college graduate but no experience relative to the career I wanted to launch. After six months of unsuccessfully throwing my resume into online black holes I started to go hard on in person networking. I went to every women's group meetibg or event like Women in Technology, small business meet and greets, women's social hours, professional networking. Yes are just a few but there are tons in any given city. Keywords are 'professional networking'.
My advice for those events are to make friends, NOT beg for a job. I use the term friends loosely. You are meeting other professionals, you are expanding your professional circle. You are not asking people out to clubs or dinner or whatever. At least not at first.
Be friendly, take an interest in people as your first goal. Fine out about their career,, how did they get there? Where did they start? What did they wish they knew when starting out? Then ask advice as your secondary goal. What advice do they have breaking into the industry? If and when they ask what you do be confident and eager, not sad and disheartened. Tell them you are a recent graduate, or seeking to break into whatever industry. You want to be positive because this is the impression of you that will charm the pants off them and make people believe in you as you believe in yourself. People like to help. Give them a reason to.
Take business cards, numbers, and connect with people on LinkedIn.
My advice to you is to look online and join a social group. Via Facebook, meetup, whatever. Not sure if you are in a city or close to one that would have more of a market for what positions you're looking for. Try to make individual connections, look for a mentor, or someone who's in the position you want and ask for advice. Believe it or not but people LOVE being the person who hooks you up for a job. They get social credit twofold. One for helping you, and two they've helped a fellow professional fill a role. Win win for all involved.
Best of luck.
