Today’s job market has become competitive and demanding. It can be challenging to find the right niche in the job market and to pursue the right career path. A job agency is designed to help the prospective employee use time most effectively and to find suitable employment, leading to a successful career. By highlighting the prospective employee's skills and areas of expertise and by matching these to the employer who can most utilise these skills, lifelong relationships can be established.
Â
There are various types of job agencies that the job-seeker should consider. Job agencies can be industry specific (e.g. banking, retail, nursing), or can be skills-specific (e.g. accounting, secretarial, home health care, specific IT certification). Before choosing an agency, the prospective employee should write down a list of skills and experiences. Consider the possible career paths for which your skills and experiences can be utilised. Determine which type of agency is best suited for these skills. This can help the prospective employee in determining the right career path. Realistically considering choices in employment, and selecting the right agency, can save time and effort, and increase the chances of success in finding employment.
Â
Creating a professional resume increases the likelihood of finding employment through a job agency, and may be a determining factor in the level of monetary reimbursement that the employee will receive. Taking time, then, to research how to create a professional-looking resume, will increase the likelihood of success in finding a suitable job. This will also be a good exercise for the job-seeker that will be of help in focusing on the best choices in career paths, and matching these choices with the right employment agency.
Â
Because most agencies already have an established relationship with employers, there is a greater likelihood that the applicant will find a job and because the agency interviews the clients first, this saves both the employer and the job applicant valuable time, as the employer may not need to interview the client personally, especially for a temporary position, or does not need to invest time in a preliminary interview. The agency, then, gives the job-seeker a "foot in the door" into the type of company best suited to utilise the prospective employee’s skills and experience.
Â
A temporary agency is a type of agency that might fill short or long-term temporary positions. Some temporary positions are listed as temporary with the possibility of permanent employment. Once a temporary employee establishes him or herself as dependable, honest and hard-working, a temporary position may become permanent, and the worker can advance in the company. Further job-related training or education after being hired, can also help the employee to develop skills and knowledge to progress in the right career.
