The effective working of any corporation or company is largely dependent on the staff it has in various positions in the organization. The way open positions are filled with suitable candidates can not only increase the productivity of the company but will also make for a great environment to work in. While many companies have internal policies to recruit their own staff for higher positions if they are suitable there is always a requirement for a new candidate who could help bring in new ideas with his own experience in the field. This is where a good recruitment agency can help with. The primary goal of a company who hires a recruitment agency is to find suitable and experienced people for the post quickly and efficiently.

Job recruitment agencies represent the company that they are hiring for and are the first face that the candidate sees. Hiring external staffing agencies is a good way to find staff that are qualified for the open position. A professional and clued up recruitment agency will have capable candidates in their database and if required are able to advertise effectively to attract the best available. The recruiters also need to have an innovative and positive approach to recruitment as well. There are employment agencies that specialize in specific fields or industries and can understand your requirement well and will be able to shortlist the best candidates for you. An effective agency not only gets you the right candidate but will also be cost effective by saving the company time and money too. Professional staffing agencies are aware of the latest changes in HR policies and it is part of their job to keep their clients informed about the same.

Employment agencies meet with all the candidates who have applied in answer to the advertisement and shortlist the best from these. This is a big help for the company as they get to meet the really capable candidates who are qualified with experience and the desired qualifications. An organization can definitely benefit from the services of job recruitment agencies as these agencies have their own networks and are able to source the right candidate for even top and middle management levels easily. They will also contact senior staff from similar organizations with offers. Not having to sift through large amounts of applications themselves saves a company a lot of man hours and the same staff could be productively used elsewhere.

Learn How Your Personal Appearance Can Affect Your Next Job Interview

There is another side to the job interview that not many job seekers take into consideration. Wouldn't you like to know what the employer is really looking for? If you could find out what the interviewer on the other side of the desk is thinking, don't you think you would have a greater advantage in getting that job? I would like to give you a few secrets that come from my personal experience of sitting on the other side of the desk for your edification.

I speak from the position of having been an employer of 25-35 people for over 30 years. I had a small construction company in Oregon, and had to do all of the hiring and firing for many years. It was not easy to find the right people I needed for my business, but through the interview process I could learn a lot about a potential candidate that could make the difference in their life and the life of my company. I cannot cover all of the elements of being prepared for an interview in this short dissertation, but I will try to hit on some very important points. I believe that your appearance can be one of the most important factors.

Appearance

Be sure that you have dressed in your finest clothing in relation to the position you are applying for. If management, then a suit is preferable, but if you are applying for a laborer position you may wear the best of the clothing you would show up for work in. I remember a skilled carpenter showing up for a carpentry position in clothing stained with fillers, finish and paint. The blue jeans had holes in them and the T-shirt he was wearing did not quite cover his body. (Like a plumber working under your sink). When he came in he put his filthy coffee container on my desk and sat down like he automatically had the job. Needless to say, I would not hire someone for my company who could not dress appropriately for a job interview. How was he going to dress while working in my customer's homes?

Hygiene is very important at this time also. Be sure your hair is combed, you have had a fresh shower, shaved or trimmed your beard, and you smell good, although too much perfume or cologne is not appropriate. If you're a woman you should be modestly dressed, since the style of your clothing will determine what the interviewer believes is the type of clothing you will wear every day to work. Low cut dresses or high skirts will be too much of a distraction. It would be best that you leave your piercing hardware at home and try to present yourself as clean cut as possible. I know there are all those laws about not discriminating against people for their appearance, (we are not talking about race or nationality here), but everyone discriminates in some way or another. There will be nothing said at the time, or comments made to anyone, but the interviewer is sizing you up to see whether he or she wants a person of your "caliber" working in his business. Are you going to represent the company well with your looks and attitude? If you lost out on a job after your interview, was it your appearance?

The other factors not considered here are attitude, composure, personality, life vision and perceived future loyalty to the company. I will write about those in future articles. Since I closed the business due to the economy a couple of years ago, I have had to sit on the job seekers side of the desk. I got the job, but I had to use the points that I have talked about above to help me out.

Being Unemployed - Some Strategies

Nothing is more shocking than losing a job. It's a devastating blow to your ego, turns your life on its side, and changes just about everything. This is not a job market that you can take lightly. You have great skills and great experience, but would need to call on everything you have to get back to work quickly.

Here are some things to consider:

Treat your job search like a job - Wake up every day, shower, dress, make coffee and sat down in your home office to work on my job search. Turn the TV off, the music on, and make your new office as comfortable as possible.

Set a goal each day - Make a contact with a former associate (network!), send a resume, write a new cover letter, create an alert on a new job site. Have a to-do list and cross things off.

Learn something new - Your brain needs the exercise. Are you a manager? Read a book on leadership. Are you in IT? Refresh and renew a technical skill. Stay in a learning mode and that will help you keep your spirits high.

Get out of the house - Take your laptop to a coffee shop or restaurant with WiFi. Spend a couple of hours working "off-site". It will do you good. No laptop? Head to the library.

Take care of yourself! - This is a tough time. It's very easy to get down about your situation, but I can't stress this enough - - Feeling sorry for yourself will help you get a job!! It's okay to have a quick pity party but be the last to arrive and the first to leave.

Follow-up, Follow-up, Follow-up - Don't blindly send resumes. Track what you send, to what companies and to whom. Use networking contacts, LinkedIn, and the Internet to help you find contacts with whom you can specifically follow-up regarding your resume and application.

There's so much more, but this can be your start. Be positive, be confident and be successful. A great resume, a great cover letter, active follow-up and strong interviews are key. Opportunities magically appear to those who are ready for them. Preparation, effort, and a healthy dose of luck and timing will take you where you want to go. Don't wait for your future to come to you. Go out and find the job of your dreams. It's out there!
