Week 4 Market readiness vs. speculative application

On his own: HE has had little success even with the follow-up based on his reactive applications. Some ads even seem to be fake ads. Therefore, HE now applies on his own initiative to companies he would like to work for with his standard I-rotated application "I am looking for a job...".
 
NewPlacement: NP has in the third full-day appointment and corresponding preparatory work by the coach a unique positioning with corresponding short and detailed profile, which can be modified from his database at any time to the most important phases of his professional career from the point of view of the searching company. As part of the jointly developed application strategy, the digital self is immediately adapted and at the end of the week the unsolicited applications are sent to headhunters. This is to reach at least 90% of the hidden vacancies and leave the headhunter with the first project choice. In total, 7 of the 8 runways to application success (digital self, reactive, initiative, networking) are to be worked on in the second month. For the first application from the last week, coach and NR develop a success presentation that proves the approximately 60 demand factors of the searching company from their own management record.
  
Our recommendations:
7. With urgent exceptions, applications should be made only after market readiness has been achieved. Corrections or withdrawals are hardly possible.
8. the hidden job market should be investigated in advance with the headhunters before approaching the companies on the initiative. Otherwise, you will lose contact with the headhunter in charge.
