Determine the sector inside that industry. For example, in New Zealand, we have the Primary Industry, and sectors within are agriculture, fisheries, conservation, etc.

Then, determine your niche or occupation within that sector. What job do you do? If you are an immigrant, these jobs must be in terms of your eligibility requirements for immigration.

Find recruiters in your niche.

Remember, there won’t be many. To find a job in the new world of work, you will need to get in front of the few recruiters and employers to gain maximum visibility.

Less than 15% of employers use recruiters because of cost, but find the ones active in your niche.

Make a list of the skills required for jobs like these. Analyse the 30-50 job ads from these employers and come up with that required skills list. Categorise those individual skills into 3-5 skill sets, e.g. Relationship building skills, or a set of technical skills, etc. To find a job in the new world of work requires that you match the employers’ requirements, and research about the skills is the place to start.

1. Look at where/how these employers recruit their talent from. Do they only advertise on their website?

2. Do they advertise in job listing websites like Seek, Indeed, etc. Do they use recruiters? Do they have a policy of utilising only referrals? 

3. Remember, less than 20% of jobs are ever advertised in job ads online. To find a job in the new world of work, you cannot rely on advertised jobs alone, anymore.

4. Performing this research will reveal how your potential target employers get their people.

5. Create a strategic CV where you match your skills to what these employers require from your skills analysis. Their skills requirements is like a Questionnaire and your CV should be like an answer sheet. To find a job in the new world of work, your CV should exactly match these requirements. Include your eligibility if you are an immigrant.

16. For employers, research key people inside them on LinkedIn. Decision-makers, influencers, have something in common with you.

17. Connect with them. Just ask for a connection. Nothing more. Always include a message.

18. It requires research. Remember that 2/10 people will accept your connection requests. Get 100 to accept your requests. 

19. That means you need to attempt about 500 connections requests. If 100 accept, we call this your Magic 100 audience or network.

20. Follow recruiters from your recruiters’ list, on LinkedIn.

21. You will now see employers and recruiters’ posts and unofficial job posts come through your newsfeed. Cull your obsolete connections in LinkedIn so that it does not dilute your news feed and you do not miss the posts, news, and updates from your target list of recruiters and employers.

27. Start building relationships with your Magic 100 connections.

28. Remember relationship building online is a process, not an event. 

29. First, you must have identified the people, connected with them, then start to engage and interact through asking questions, showing attention, then referrals and recommendations will come when you have created enough trust with them, or transferred some value to them. 

30. Otherwise, nothing will happen.
