How to Get Help Finding an Employment Agency Job

When you are out of work or unhappy in the position you are in, an employment agency may be just what you need. Not all employment agencies are the same. Usually there is no cost to the person seeking employment; the company hiring through the employment agency pays the fees. However, always ask, just in case.

Instructions

1. Tell people you are looking for work and you want to go through an agency. Many people are hired through agencies. Your friends and family may be the best judge if an agency really works.

2. Post notices on job websites that you are looking for work. Upload your resume and a cover letter and say what type of job you want.

3. Use the Internet. Employment agencies are everywhere. Know what your expectations are and be realistic.

4. Establish your criteria. Know whether you want a temporary position, contract position or permanent full- or part-time employment opportunity.

5. Read your local newspaper listings; often there are advertisements for employment agencies. Also, look in your local phone book.

Tips & Warnings

• Research the employment agency and don't put all your eggs in one basket. There is nothing wrong with shopping your resume around.

• Be cautious-there should be no up-front fees or promises that sound too good to be true.
