	Networking Career experts estimate that the vast majority of job openings are never advertised or publicly announced, but filled through word-of-mouth or networking -- known as the "hidden job market." The likelihood of a job opening not being advertised at all is over 70%, according to industry estimates, from recruiters and staffing companies.
	Salary Information Get information on salary for your job in various metro areas. See if your expectations are about right. Aim to price yourself 20% under the market in order to land a job quickly. You'll make up the difference with one or two review cycles.
	Your fastest route to a job To succeed in the competitive times of today, job seekers need an 8-prong plan of attack. Many jobseekers that we advise or coach lack even basic skills of crafting a cover letter or a thank you note.
