January 18th, 2012

In this economic climate, standing out from the crowd when job-hunting is the only sure fire way to success. It is important that your potential employer remembers you – for good reasons – and communication is key as there may be many jobs available but you need to ensure that you are the person whom recruiters call back.

Right from the very beginning, your CV needs to fit the role. That means setting it out to contain generic information that can be easily amended to target a particular company and job: check out their website before applying and use their tenets in your Personal Statement.

Job Search Tips: 5 Great Tips to Help You Wow the Employment Agencies

April 3rd, 2011

By Hire Pulse

Employment agencies have become an invaluable asset in the quest to find a job.  An employment agency will test your skills, look at your experience, and decide if you’d be a good hire for the companies they work for.  They make finding a job easier because they provide you with access to otherwise hard to come by job positions.  They also help their client companies by managing the hiring process. Their ability to do the screening and hiring for companies has propelled them into the front-line of the recruitment process.

The most common employment agencies in the past were “temp agencies” that hired temporary help for companies, often on a labor hire basis. But these days it’s more common to find a permanent, full-time job using an employment agency.

This will give you a great head start, so treat your employment agency interview like an interview with the employer directly.  Before you go, there are some things you should do to prepare. » Read more: Job Search Tips: 5 Great Tips to Help You Wow the Employment Agencies
