Thank you for teaching us how the "real game" is played. I removed my resume from those job boards that never helped me anyway. I will job search using your methods.
I'm so sorry to hear about his tragic loss and find the video (like his others) is still better than most search results for "hidden job market". So many videos are beating around the bush on the whys but he takes you directly to the how.
9:38 Exactly. And never burn bridges either. Got fired from a company a few years ago. The guy who fired me just so happens to go to the same gym I do. One day at the gym he comes up to me and asks if I'm still looking for a job. Turns out his sister works for a company that was looking for someone. He put in a good word for me.
Darnell thank you so much! this is pure gold. I just graduated and I'm looking for a job in the middle of this situation... I'm gonna try this for sure
Very time consuming but true. You basically gotta become a detective, I tell people this and they don't believe me. Then I get good paying jobs and they ask me how I did it.
Really its true even after 3 years . Its true and it will be always true... thank you so much... you just gave me another kick for job search... i was really tired seaching a job in EU and UAE... I will try this... thank you sir...
this hidden job market is like going to a bar regularly and tipping heavily. and the bartender may get you a free drink or fries. but you can never ask for it so you won't be able to bank on it. now i have tried to network with people specially when i just graduated. if i had spent that time actually applying instead of wasting it connecting with people who are too busy, i would be employed 3 years early. its just how it is. nowadays the market is so hot in ontario i just spray my job on indeed, I'm getting offers. and direct website applications guarantee me an interview. networking sounds fun. but it seems to be for those who have experience and know the players in the market. also depending on location the people can go from very cold to very rude to outsiders. so how you suppose to network with people who won't talk to you.
Hello sir.. Thank u very much for all what u are doing everyday to help us joobseeker. I finally got a job do your videos helped me a lot. Thank u again
Hi Darnell, love your videos! i show them often in my job club for people with disabilities.They help to re enforce ideas we talk about.I often have people who are hearing impaired and have sign language interpreters assisting . I know it is not always possible but It would be great if you you had CC option on the videos. You are a big hit here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Thanks!
Hello, thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it more than you know. Thank you for letting me know I'm a hit in Canada! And I will begin making my videos with CC option.
@blah blah Have you tried this approach? how do you know it doesn't work for you? Basically you need to go boss hunting. Not everyone is your cup of coffee but eventually you will come across someone who is willing to hire you.
According to Mr Clarke, you need to born into a well connected family or whatever. That is a no-advice. Having connections is always great. Who with a sane mind will help his competition and give answers how to land a job in the company..... Building a network....I would live to see people giving applicable advice. Am I too Blunt? Sorry I am German. Too bad. Mr. Clarke is not really bad. But his advice just does not stand out in comparison to all those other channels weich is cantradictory and kind of killing his credibility.
@@rock801 In America people will help the competition all the time as we are not trying to build a monopoly and infact it is illegal to build a monopoly here in America. The Government has stepped in a few times preventing corporations from having a monopoly on Social media such as mergers and deals and even as far to pay companies to stay afloat. There has also been times where companies themselves have payed for the development of rival companies as competition is good for everyone involved
It seems that people whom I've known or met in person are more likely to help or refer. I guess sometimes it depends on the relationship level, and other times it just depends on the other person's willingness.
Darnell Clarke Thanks for getting back with me. I specifically applied for an HR internship recently. My question is if the the job/intern candidate doesn't have direct/or previous experience in project management, but meets all the other qualifications; could there be ways for the candidate (based on other work / and or academic experiences) to describe transferable skills that may be relevant to project management at a job interview or to stand out at the interview despite lack of direct experience in project management? Note: On the job description, prior experience in project management is preferred, and not required
Hello Grace, if the job/intern candidate gets the interview with little to no PM experience, then they are half-way home. There was something about their resume that the interviewer liked. Once the interview starts, then they can throw out the resume with little to no PM experience, because whatever they do in the interview will get them the job. So, to answer your question, yes, the job/intern candidate can describe transferable skills that may be relevant to project management at a job interview. And the better they can do it, the better chance they will have of getting the offer. ---- I hoped that helped!!!
Hey, I'm an international student, so I need a Visa sponsorship ( after 3 years on OPT) to work. How to go about that to find a suitable job? Thankyou!
Hey Mr Darnell Thank you for your advice. I'm hooked. My friend said this company is expanding. She gave me an email and said I sell myself to the lady. Qn. How should I go about it without an advertised position? Thank you, Josephine
Hey Josephine, thanks for your feedback! The email your friend gave you, was it to an actual person or was it to a general email box? If it's to an actual person, then just gave a short into and give them your Value Added Proposition. If you don't know what that is, go find my RUclips video on it. If the email is to a general infobox, then I wouldn't waste my time to send anything. Remember "people hire people".
Darnell Clarke Thank you so much Sir. The email is for an actual person. Think she's HR or something. Yes I have watched your video on VAP and gonna do just that. Again thank you and I will be in touch. God bless you for sharing with us.
There's this position I want at SNY.tv (which is a division of NBC Universal) and I want it badly. Problem is, it looks like the whole department has been wiped out clean and there's no Human Resources Manager at SNY. Is the HR Manager at SNY responsible for hiring candidates for SNY positions or is the parent company? (NBC Universal)
Hello Julius, The hiring manager will be working for SNY. Is there an open position you saw? If not, it will be hard to get them to hire you without an open position to connect you with...
It's an open position (Producer/Editor), I double checked with SNY and NBC. It's still open. There's also a vacancy at Human Resources Manager which makes me feel stuck in neutral.
How do I go about applying for a position for which there's no HR manager. Would there be a recruiter acting as a HR manager for the time being I'm not sure.
Do you know of ATS software (free) for Job seekers? We don't wan't to be kicked out by that software. Is there any links for software that would be free for the job seekers?
Susan Brooks joBscan. I use it all the time. Haven't got kicked out yet, so that's progress. Without it, it's a wrap. But it's hard to get a position just online by itself plain and simple. Not about what you know. You can be the most talent person for the job and be a great candidate. But somebody that you're better than has a job, why? Because they knew somebody or connected with somebody on the inside that hooked them up. Especially for those big companies, can't get anywhere without networking or knowing people who knows people.
So network with people on LinkedIn at your target companies. People in your prospective department, the head guys in charge or people who you'll be working with. Gain their trust, have a convo, and if they have confidence in you, they'll speak up for you and refer you to their boss or the one who's doing the hiring.
Hello Andrea, thanks for your comment. And yes, they are. That's why you need some kind of differentiation factor, something that will set you apart from all others...
Perhaps a disclaimer at the end of your video saying: "Doing this crap doesn't guarantee success" will help people understand some of your sketchy advice might work, but more likely, wont. Just so folks know. By the way, telling people to check company websites to see if the job is still posted is TERRIBLE advice! Many companies don't have a Careers Page, and therefore simply do not post job opportunities on their websites. Telling people to assume a job posting that doesn't appear on a company's website is no longer available is irresponsible. You should replace this video with something less B.S.-ee.
To be fair the only absolutes in life are Death and Taxes so it should be common sense that no advice will guarantee success. That said being good friends with someone who works at a place you want to work at will give you a good chance of getting hired, however you have to be good friends with them otherwise they will not give the referral as they are risking their neck just to get you a job offer as if you turn out bad and all they are getting punished and or a high chance of them getting fired. Which is why people don't usually refer others but it is the best way of getting hired even if there is no open job listing Also many companies do keep a job listing up even if they are not hiring as they are too lazy to take it down so you have to call the company and ask them if that position is still open

Hello Grace, yes, you are absolutely correct. Thanks for your comment!
You're welcome. I appreciate it. I do have a question relating to HR and project management. Should I ask you directly on your website?
You can ask right here! What's your question?
Darnell Clarke Thanks for getting back with me. I specifically applied for an HR internship recently. My question is if the the job/intern candidate doesn't have direct/or previous experience in project management, but meets all the other qualifications; could there be ways for the candidate (based on other work / and or academic experiences) to describe transferable skills that may be relevant to project management at a job interview or to stand out at the interview despite lack of direct experience in project management?

Its funny that u say this...I've been doing this for about a year now and its yielding results.
Hey Momo Ed, I've been doing this for a lot longer than a year!!!
the readiness of people to ask for jobs on those linkedin sites is quite low.....in times of corona, who will support his own competition?
Great Sir!
I'm definitely losing. Good video
Thank you for your comment
this guy is the best
Hey Sanyam, thanks for your comments...

Is this process applicable in the UK job market too?
Hello, this process is applicable to the UK and the entire world!!!
There's this position I want at SNY.tv (which is a division of NBC Universal) and I want it badly.

How do I go about applying for a position for which there's no HR manager. Would there be a recruiter acting as a HR manager for the time being I'm not sure.
Are you applying for an open position?
Darnell Clarke yes. According to the parent company (NBC Universal) the "producer/editor" position is still open.
Do you know of ATS software (free) for Job seekers? We don't wan't to be kicked out by that software. Is there any links for software that would be free for the job seekers?

bro.......you played in the mlb?
The world's richest people don't go looking for jobs, they create a business from scratch.
Hello, I live in Atlanta and the high paying jobs here are extremely competitive.
Hello Andrea, thanks for your comment. And yes, they are. That's why you need some kind of differentiation factor, something that will set you apart from all others...
Darnell Clarke I'm still in school so that's kinda difficult as well lol.
GREAT VIDEO THANKS! I NEED SOMEONE TO VIEW MY RESUME.
Hello Kay, I would be more than happy to review your resume!
Darnell Clarke email address please
darnell@darnellc.com
The same story everywhere.....whole video a waste of time stressing why someone does not get a job.
Perhaps a disclaimer at the end of your video saying: "Doing this crap doesn't guarantee success" will help people understand some of your sketchy advice might work, but more likely, wont. Just so folks know. By the way, telling people to check company websites to see if the job is still posted is TERRIBLE advice! Many companies don't have a Careers Page, and therefore simply do not post job opportunities on their websites. Telling people to assume a job posting that doesn't appear on a company's website is no longer available is irresponsible. You should replace this video with something less B.S.-ee.
Terri Lorrain Darnell is no longer alive. Happy Venting you miserable person !! What have you done to help people vs Darnell?
Makeup favs what happened
To be fair the only absolutes in life are Death and Taxes so it should be common sense that no advice will guarantee success. That said being good friends with someone who works at a place you want to work at will give you a good chance of getting hired, however you have to be good friends with them otherwise they will not give the referral as they are risking their neck just to get you a job offer as if you turn out bad and all they are getting punished and or a high chance of them getting fired. Which is why people don't usually refer others but it is the best way of getting hired even if there is no open job listing
Also many companies do keep a job listing up even if they are not hiring as they are too lazy to take it down so you have to call the company and ask them if that position is still open
