Working with recruitment agencies. Dealing with agencies – hum, this is tricky. In my experience there are some terrible agencies out there that will treat you really badly and will put you forward for jobs that are totally unsuitable for you. The agencies will only call you if your CV has passed their keyword algorithm.
Have money for jobhunting and working. Whenever you interview for a job, there’s at least 2-3 interviews if not more. Sometimes companies don’t validate for parking especially if you are doing testing at a temp agency and are there for a few hours. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money.
JH recently wrote me and asked the following question, "With so many temp agencies out there, I don't know which is/isn't good. I was wondering if you could give me the name of the temp agency you worked with. You ask a very good question and I'm so glad you are being proactive with your jobhunt and career.
Firstly, you will probably have to apply to an agency first, through an online application. You then have to cross your fingers in the hope that your CV passes through whatever keyword algorithm they have in place that matches your CV with your potential employer’s job spec.
I'd like to think of myself as having a lot of initiative, creating my own luck, and being pretty good at networking. Often, my hard work, optimism, and drive pays off in job leads, but since I'm looking for the RIGHT job, it's been a long journey. Because I've been working for 9 years now, I've grown my network steadily.
Hello New & Returning Readers, About 2 years ago I wrote an in-depth post about how I jobhunt. I had always meant to expound on that post about how the internet, social media, and networking online play a very big role for how I conduct my search and also improve my chances of protecting myself.
Google for the UTA list and sign up for all email lists and job boards for the entertainment industry, network with people you know, send your resume and cover letter snail mail to every company you want to work at to the attn of the recruiting department, and establish an online presence so headhunters find you via LinkedIn and job sites.
When you interview for new jobs, do your yearly job performance reviews, network, or whenever appropriate, make it clear you have bigger goals. When you jobhunt keep this in mind. This is one of the main reasons why I endorse temping and working thru recruiting and placement agencies.
I had always meant to do a post on job searching and so I figured, why not now? AKA – Kiyomi’s 21-Step JobHunt Strategy 1) Contact everyone you know in a personalized, positive, fun email When I first graduated college and whenever I am seeking new opportunities, I will literally email everyone I know.
Is it a viable tool for networking and jobhunting? Or…if you’re a consultant or agency, how do you introduce social media to the C-level at your client’s business? But getting to work with social media can be harder than it first appears. What have you done to quickly get to work?
Even though I am an EA with over 15 years of experience at the C-level, it seems that all the recruiting agencies I have approached still require an applicant to come in for an appointment to take their basic employment testing, and then only seem to be able to offer lower-level administrative jobs. Know how to network and be helpful.
After only 2 weeks, I found a great company through a staffing agency and the position was full time working for a wonderful CEO. I did very well on my interviews and it's down to me and one other EA who already has a full time job. Because I knew nothing about the job except my title (EA) and the dept (I think it was in marketing).
Some, like a Howard University grad who launched her own creative agency after struggling in the post-pandemic job market, are building careers on their own terms. Networking is also essential, as even informal conversations can open doors. Networking is also essential, as even informal conversations can open doors.
I found every single one of my jobs through a temping agency or by referral. I learned through informational interviews that I should apply to temp agencies.
