Executive candidates 'need job seeking system'

By John Oak

Executive jobseekers need to put an effective system in place in order to tap into the unadvertised job market, it has been claimed.

According to career coach Mary Elizabeth Bradford, job candidates, such as those looking for sales jobs, should try direct mail campaigns and phone calls to secure positions, rather than spending a great deal of time on recruitment boards.

She commented: "Weeks of submitting your resume on job boards with never getting any response, can be very demoralising.

"I talk to a lot of really deserving and intelligent executives that just don't have the right information."

Ms Bradford added that to find unadvertised positions, executives need to develop a system to replace their dependence on job boards.

Earlier this month, Richard Pearson, a former vice president with four travel companies, commented that candidates looking for sales jobs must be proactive, understand their options within their own company, know how to network, find a mentor and learn to accept disappointment.
