The Next Step

According to one conclusion from the 7th Annual Sources of Hire Study:

"Good or bad, we advise job seekers to never apply to a company without first networking to an employee in that firm for a referral. The difference in probability of getting 'up to bat' is too large to ignore."

If you believe you are one of the best employees and want to work for one of the best employers, then tap into your LinkedIn network to gain an introduction into that organization and explore ways in which you can add your unique value to their operation.
