Finding A Career Through A Temp Agency

In the current economy, finding a job can be a difficult prospect.

These companies work to place people in positions in all different job sectors and levels. Getting help from employment agencies can shorten your search time.

Impressing Those Robotic Recruiters

Love them or hate them those lovely robotic like recruiters are here to stay, and, this might come as a shock to some of you, they are actually human! No, they do not recharge connected to a power point at night they do sleep like you and I, they even eat and occasionally you may just see one attempt to break into something resembling a smile. Their Job Often referred to as 'head-hunters,' not the most flattering of nicknames if you ask me, makes them sound like decapitation nutters! The job of the recruiter in a nutshell is to match specific people with specific suitable jobs. They can work as self-employed individuals or as part of a recruiting team, they might search you out for a position or you might indeed seek their help in searching for a specific job. Whatever circumstances surround how you meet one thing is for sure and that is the recruiter should be deemed as your new best friend, treat them well and always show them respect. Making an Impression So how exac

Stand Out In a Crowded Job Market

Job postings on Monster or Career Builder typically net hundreds and sometimes thousands of online application submissions. Of course, not each and every one will be qualified. However, with your application mixed in with the horde, how can you confirm to the screening software that HR utilizes, that you are worthy of a look?  First, be sure to use words specific to the position on your resume. Never send an automated resume response even though it may be faster and easier. It will shoot you in the foot if you find out later that your words are not consistent with the requirements in the posting. You have to emphasize what makes you superior for the position than all the other applicants. Your keywords have to be carefully chosen for each application you submit.  How are you on the follow-up? Following up is crucial to a successful job search. It projects your image as a professional who is interested and committed to the available position. Your follow up should be done by telephone

Words You Must Have in Your Resume!

Certain words can make hiring managers do a  double take.These word suggestions well tell the recruiter that the resume writers include action words to describe their jobs,  career counselors recommend them. These verbs project the image that someone has the background and initiative to get things done. The employer will be able to clearly understand what you've accomplished and  use this as a basis for predicting a future possibility of success with their company.  If you were hiring, what would you rather have, someone who says he's a "productive manager" or somebody who states that at his last job he "increased company profit by 3 percent," "reduced employee turnover in his department to its best level in 5 years" and "improved brand awareness by implementing a new social media strategy"? Catch their eye at your next job fair? These words can do it. Here are words and phrases that will light there eyes up. Developed Accomplished U
