THE BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH AN AGENCY: Recruiters network with a variety of business and contacts in order to provide opportunities that are not readily available to candidates searching on their own. A recruiter’s job is to refine your application and resume materials, coach you on interview questions and etiquette, and even negotiate compensation packages during the offer stage. During your meeting with the agency, you can expect to go over your job history, specific career goals, and participate in skill assessments. Keep in mind that a recruiter’s services are paid for by the client and can vary depending on your industry, needs, and career goals.
RESUME SECRETS: Re-vamping your resume is the most important step in preparing yourself to re-enter the job market. Resumeedge.com is an online service that provides helpful hints to enhance your resume, and also offers customer-paid services to re-work or write your resume for specific positions.

SALARY EXPECTATIONS: If you have been out of the job market for an extended period of time, are making a career change, or have recently relocated to Arizona, it is important that you be “salary literate”! Pricing yourself out of the market or selling yourself short are common mistakes and can be detrimental to your search. Visit the link below to research salaries in your field, area of residence or prospective industry. SKILLS ENHANCEMENT: The number one question we are asked by our candidates is “How can I improve my computer skills?” Training classes are offered throughout the valley at a reasonable price, most commonly at community colleges. Check out the Maricopa Community Colleges’ website to find the school closest to you! |
