How to find the right organizations for your project management career What is the most difficult part of landing a new job to improve your career? This question was asked in a recent poll on the Career in Project Management LinkedIn Group. According to the poll, the most difficult task is finding jobs and organizations. This was evident from the conversations I had with the LinkedIn group community and the comments here. Research Organizations, not Jobs. The most important thing I can emphasize on this topic is that it’s much more productive for job seekers to target organizations they are interested in working with than relying solely on job boards and applying for every job that opens up. If you are currently unemployed, I don’t mind you applying for individual jobs. However, a focus on targeting companies should be the main objective. For those who are currently employed, it’s the only way to go. It takes time to target organizations. The sooner you start the better. What can I do? I help people narrow their focus to three to ten organizations they are interested in working for. It takes time to research and narrow down the list of 30-40 companies to those that are the best fit for you, your career goals, industry/domain, size, and location. First, you need to ask yourself if they are a good fit for you. Then you can determine if you are a good fit for them. My favorite tools are the local Chamber of Commerce member directory, and LinkedIn advanced search. Your professional network and friends are a great source of information. Ask them about their experiences with companies they have worked for, or are currently employed by. Ask them if they know any good companies with the attributes that you are looking for. This could be your process:
Identify the most important attributes you value. Examples of these attributes include size, industry/domain and commute time. Make a list of 30-40 candidates organizations. Do not worry about evaluating them…

It’s impossible to find the perfect employee. It’s difficult for job seekers to find a new job. Guess what? It’s not easy to find qualified candidates for open positions. This video tutorial will show you how to use LinkedIn to find top candidates. But there’s more. Networking is essential! I can recommend a few people from my network that are located in Michael’s area. Guess what? None of these people have ever met me. I do know a lot about them. They’ve asked great questions. They have shown me their willingness to learn and improve. They have invested enough time and effort to build a professional relationship that I feel comfortable recommending them. Many People Didn’t Make the Cut Many people with whom I am ‘connected’ didn’t receive a referral. Why? Because I don’t know anything about them. There is no relationship. They are just random guys and gals that I wouldn’t recommend. I have had enough interactions with them to get to know them well. To realize they are not the type person I would recommend. Moral of the story? Networking people…networking. What have you done for someone else lately? I just recommended several outstanding candidates to a potential employer. Was it worth the effort and time? Yes. But, something magical happened. Three people just gained value in their lives.
I love helping people. It strengthens my professional reputation. A hiring manager was just able to introduce bright and energetic candidates. A focused and thoughtful hiring manager has just gotten…
