The hidden job market was an eye-opener for me.  According to the statistics we learned on the program, 80-85% of jobs will never appear on job boards or the internet. We have to get out there and do research in order to find them. As a result of this, I spent time each day going outside and literally ‘pounding the pavements’ in Okotoks where I live to find my ideal job. Talking to people and networking has allowed me to find many more possibilities I never knew existed.
