Many job opportunities are part of the hidden job market, meaning they are filled through internal referrals and networking rather than public postings. Hidden jobs are often less competitive due to their reduced visibility. NHS employees should proactively seek out networking opportunities to learn about unadvertised positions. Networking for Career Advancement Networking can seem like a daunting exercise in the beginning. The fear of being seen as pushy or annoying is a common fear that often inhibits people. The truth is that you already know how to network and have been unconsciously doing it. Networking isn’t about aggressive self-promotion; it’s about building relationships and connecting with others. Whilst it sounds intimidating it can be rewarding and a chance to forge your career path. Joining an NHS network will allow you to develop your organisational knowledge and build your community interest. You can take part in discussion forums, share knowledge and good practice and learn this from others.
