How can you find job opportunities that are never publicly advertised? Why are skills in hidden job searching more important now than ever? Is networking only for outgoing social butterflies? And will a direct approach annoy people?

In this session, TEK career coaches Markus Lindholm and Anna Saraneva delve into the importance of the hidden job market and address the most common myths surrounding it. They explain why the hidden job market can be a real opportunity for many job seekers and how anyone can learn to leverage and expand their own networks – and why it’s worth doing so.

The goals of the session are to provide:
 • Perspectives on how to approach the hidden job search and networking in a natural, authentic way
 • An understanding that networking is a lifelong skill that can be developed
 • Practical tips for building connections

If you want to explore the topic in more depth, you can sign up for the guided online training on the hidden job market, which starts on September 22, 2025. Registration opens soon.
