Employment agencies: how do they work?

No matter your career interests and availabilities, you can improve your chances of landing the right job by partnering with an employment agency. Here’s what you need to do to obtain the support and expertise of a qualified professional who can optimize your visibility on the job market.

The first step involves sending your resumé and cover letter to a reputable agency. Choose a dynamic agency specialized in your industry of choice that regularly publishes job offers online. If your CV captures the attention of a recruiter, he or she will contact you for an initial phone in- terview. Next, you will be invited to meet in person. Prepare for the meeting like you would for a job interview with a potential employer.

During the initial interview, the recruiter will draft a profile of your skills and experience and ask a series of questions pertaining to your career goals, salary expectations, availabilities, etc. If applicable, he or she will ask you to take certain skill tests (grammar, data entry, etc.) to better assess your capabilities.

Your profile matches an open position? In that case, the agency will submit an application on your behalf. At this point, you will most likely be summoned for another interview; however, this time it’s up to the employer to decide whether or not you’re the right candidate for the job.

Partnering with an employment agency can open the door to many opportunities, both permanent and temporary. What’s more, most of these agencies provide their services to job hunters free of charge, as it’s the employers in search of personnel that pay the costs related to finding the right man or woman for the job. It’s up to you to seize the opportunity!

How to dress for a job interview

The way you present yourself during a job interview has a direct impact on the outcome. Your choice of clothing, makeup and even perfume can influence your chances of landing the job for better or worse. Are you wondering what to wear to your next interview? Here are a few ideas to help you make a wise choice.

A job interview isn’t the best time to demonstrate your eccentric style. Therefore, regardless of the position you’re applying for, always go with a professional outfit. In the business world, a tailored suit remains a classic choice. If you’re interviewing for a job in the fields of health care or education, opt instead for a comfortable but sophisticated look that includes a skirt or a pair of pants (not jeans!) and a nice shirt.

If you’re in the creative industry (advertising, communications, arts, etc.) wear a tasteful outfit that showcases your personality. Ripped denim, cargo pants, sweat suits, low-cut shirts, short skirts and sequined fabrics are never appropriate. As for shoes, opt for a closed pair instead of an open sandal, and make sure they’re well polished. Lastly, leave your stiletto heels and running shoes at home.

Finally, choose your accessories with care. A simple scarf or necklace can complete a look without the need for further embellishment. Last but not least, opt for a natural style of makeup and a discreet perfume that won’t risk distracting your potential employer.

Four CV mistakes to avoid

On average, an employer spends 10 to 20 seconds scanning a prospective hire’s CV. If you want to increase your chances of attracting a recruiter’s attention, limit the length of your resumé to two pages at the most, and avoid making any of the following four critical mistakes.

1. Sending in a rough draft of your CV

A resumé that’s riddled with errors can only lead to one outcome: rejection! To capture a potential employer’s attention and make a good impression, ensure the information presented is clear, concise and well written, without sounding too boastful. To increase your chances even further, have your CV proofread by a professional.

2. Detailing your entire career path

It’s not necessary to include every single past work experience on your CV. Ideally, you only want to mention those that directly relate to the position you’re interested in. The same goes for prior tasks and responsibilities; stay concise by only detailing those that align with the requirements described in the job posting.

3. Elaborating on your personal life

Employers do not need to know about your passion for gardening, hiking or reading. Likewise, it isn’t necessary to indicate your age, date of birth, marital status or other similar personal information on your CV; in fact, this could actually hinder your chances. And what about including a professional headshot? Bad idea. (Unless you’re sending your resumé to casting agencies, of course.)

4. Omitting a cover letter

Your CV should always be accompanied by a short cover letter stipulating your interest in the available position. In certain cases, failing to do so can lead recruiters to immediately terminate your candidacy. Remember, there’s no reward for laziness!

Is remote work right for you?

Do you dream of working from home? Do you believe working remotely reduces stress and helps achieve a better work-life balance? While you may be right, there are a few important factors to consider. Despite popular belief, working from home is often challenging and doesn’t necessarily fit everybody’s lifestyle.

First, you can forget about working all day in your jammies slumped on the couch. A successful at-home career requires exceptional organization. Showering, get- ting dressed and eating a well-balanced breakfast like any regular work day, maintaining an organized workspace, planning one’s schedule, resisting distractions and staying in regular contact with clients, coworkers and employers are all part of the daily life of a remote worker.

On the other hand, working remotely means taking breaks as needed without having to feel guilty. And while it may be tempting to work days, nights and weekends according to one’s schedule, the risk of overworking is also very real. Furthermore, getting paid for working overtime at home is often tricky business. However, if you have children, working from home can be an excellent solution for spending more time with your loved ones.

In a nutshell, working remotely is ideal for people who are independent, disciplined and who don’t fear isolation. Do you fit the bill? Then chances are that working from home will bring you much joy and fulfillment!
