Finding the perfect job
There are many reasons to be looking for a job. Maybe you're out of work, or wanting to break back into the workforce after time off caring for your family. Perhaps you're ready for a change, want to try temping, or you're just dying to take a step up. Whatever your reasons, an employment agency can not only offer you the chance to expand your professional horizons but it can link you with a number of promising apprenticeships and trade schools, to equip you with the skills you need to realise your goals.
So, what exactly can you expect when you consult an employment agency, and how will they help you to achieve your unique ambitions? Read on to find out.
-
The first tool at your disposal when you decide to engage an employment agency is their database of positions vacant. Agencies have the inside track on many vacancies that aren't advertised directly to the public, so having them in your corner will automatically open new doors for you. Spend some time searching through their listed vacancies.
-
Next, you'll submit your resume to the agency. This is important because once the agency staff understand your work history and career intentions, they will notify you if a role comes in that's perfect for you. Human resources professionals cultivate extensive networks with employers in businesses large and small, so if you fit the profile a client of theirs prefers they'll give you the heads up, even if its not spelled out in the job description.

After that, things start to get personal. Go ahead and interview your agency, while they interview you. Getting to know the staff assisting you in the hunt for the perfect job is crucial in communicating to them just who you are and what you're capable of. Seize the opportunity to attend an interview and you'll be rewarded with the benefit of their professional knowledge on industry trends and practices, as well as the correct training to undergo and the right roles to accept to get you where you want to go.

Finally, it's all down to fine tuning. Your employment agency will assist you to build the most professional resume possible, they will help you prepare for that big interview and are even able to advise you on the latest salaries in your field.
With an employment agency by your side the world is your oyster. So what are you waiting for?
