Call the Human Resources Department of the companies you are interested in and find out which employment agencies they use. Interview the job counselor. Look for specialized agencies (Book of Lists, yellow pages, internet search). Go to more than one agency. Conduct a thorough job search before paying any fees. Don’t’ sign any forms until you fully understand them. Most agencies operate on a contingency basis. They must place you in a job before they can collect their fee. Will try their utmost to find you a job – any job. Job counselors may be paid on commission. Know where you want to work. If the job doesn’t meet your requirements don’t take it. 14

  • 89. Bold Moves Can Backfire “In today's ultracompetitive job market, even getting an interview is a feat. Yet recruiters and hiring managers say many unemployed candidates blow the opportunity by appearing desperate or bitter about their situations — often without realizing it.” Be careful not to go too far, though, in your quest to stand out. For example, it may be tempting to offer to work temporarily for free or to take a lesser salary than what a job pays. But experts say such bold moves often backfire on candidates. "Employers want value," says Lee Miller, author of Get More Money on Your Next Job ... In Any Economy. "They don't want cheap.“ --Wall Street Journal, by Sarah E. Needleman, Tuesday, April 14, 2009

  • 115. Don’t Come On Too Strong!!! At an interview, you want to stand out for the right reasons. To do so, you'll need to leave your baggage and anxiety at the door: Wait until 10 minutes before your scheduled interview time to announce yourself.

  • 116. Don’t Come On Too Strong!!! In some cases, you may be looking just for a job to get you through so you might consider a less-than-perfect fit. But if you aren't really excited about an opportunity, keep it to yourself, warns David Gaspin, director of human resources at 5W Public Relations in New York. After an interview, take caution with your follow-up. If you're in the running for multiple jobs at once, make sure to address thank-yous to the right people, career experts advise. If all has gone well, don't stalk the interviewer. Wait at least a week before checking on your candidacy, adds Jose Tamez, managing partner at Austin-Michael LP, an executive-search firm in Golden, Colo --Wall Street Journa, Tuesday, April 14, 2009 By Sarah E.
