To create the ICAEW Guide to Successful Job Search, ICAEW worked with Simon Gray, author of ‘Super Secrets of Successful Executive Job Search’ and founder of Career Codex, in addition to experts from across the recruitment and business world to share their knowledge of how to find and secure the job you want.
In Episode 7, ‘The power of networking’, Gray explores how effective networking can provide you with access to ‘market-makers’ – well-connected and influential figures within a specific industry sector, who are often trusted advisors to employers.
