Job postings represent only a portion of the positions actually available on the market. There is a hidden job market—a real opportunity you may not have considered. Studies estimate that the hidden job market for executives represents 80% of the total market. Actively searching for a job is one thing; being attuned to the market so you don’t miss opportunities—or even create them—is another.

To stand out and get noticed, you need to multiply your contacts with potential recruiters. LinkedIn is the professional network that serves this purpose. Here are our tips to increase your visibility without spending too much time.
