The best way to reach a destination is by mapping out the directions to the end point, and the same principle applies to careers. Derek Szeto, CEO of jobs site Wirkn, said to find a fast-growing company whose mission you believe in and reach out to someone at the company directly. "Tell them how you can help," Szeto said. "There is a whole layer of hidden job opportunities that never make it to a job posting. When a company is growing fast and staying busy, they might not even know they need you until you tell them." When you get in touch, tell the hiring manager that this is the job of your dreams, advised Sarah Connors, principal staffing manager at WinterWyman Contract Staffing. "If you act like this is just an interview or role like any other, the recruiter won't know how strongly you feel about the opportunity," she said. "Let them know why you're excited about this role, using specifics. Your energy will likely be infectious, and your reasons could make you stand out from the crowd."
