I forgot how frustrating it is to look for a job. I've been unemployed for about 2 weeks now and it's getting to me...
Anyone ever have a good experience with a job agency? I just hate that they make you come in and do all sorts of tests, sometimes it takes up your whole day.
Bah! |

Takes up the whole day? LOL!
Let me guess... The "unemployed schedule" is so busy that there is no time.
Sorry, made me laugh. |

Yes, going to a bunch of agencies does take up your whole day. What's so funny about that?
I could be spending that time (traveling to agency, doing tests, etc.) actually looking for a job and dealing with prospective employers directly.
Hence, my point of this post, genius. I'm trying to hear some success stories with agencies and see if anyone here actually had a good experience with them and got a nice job out of seeing one. |

Here's the point of my post, genius: Learn about leverage.
You can multiply your search efforts by devoting a day or two to visit agencies/recruiters and go through their candidate process.
Having yourself plus agencies/recruiters searching out jobs for you is far more likely to produce the result you're looking for vs. you looking alone.
Time well invested, I'd say. |

| Drake is a wonderful agency. Yes the testing will take up half of your day, but their placement rate is very very high. |

| I was placed by Syneron...while the job didn't stick, it was a good process. |

| Get your resume checked by someone who is in similar work field with you......It make a huge differnce and lots of people just underestimate the power of a good resume. |

Yeah, I agree. Having multiple resources will definitely produce more results and the time is well invested.
I know about leverage and I never said I wouldn't go to an agency, cause i've gone to a few already and have a couple more to go to today.
I really just wanted to hear which ones(agencies) are good and which ones to avoid. |
