It encourages you catalogue your skills (Internal Assessment) and determine you schooling or need for additional experience (External Assessment). It then guides you through the tactical search stage (Overall Strategy/Planning and Preparation) on through to Action.
Your employable assets go far beyond training or duties you may have had in the past. They encompass your talents and any extra skills you may have developed throughout you life at work, in a voluntary capacity or through pursuing a hobby. These skills/assets become your transferable skills and are the little 'extras' that make you more employable.
The Hidden Job Market refers to the 80 per cent of jobs that are never formally advertised. Learning how to access this market is essential to your career and job search. By taking the initiative, networking, and actively pursuing potential employment sites you can work your way into this hidden job market.
