MINNEAPOLIS -- Ted Chalupsky, President and founder of The Right Staff, shares tips to help with your job search and longer term career management.
Many people have been successful by engaging a professional "Recruiter/Agent" to achieve the goal of finding the right job. Here are some of the key elements to finding the right Recruiter/Agent:
1. Experience Counts: Any successful recruiter/agent should have a minimum of 5 to 10 years in recruiting and representing candidates for employment.
2. Specialization: Look for a recruiter/agent that specializes in your skill area, and has done so successfully for 5 to 10 years.
3. Network: A successful recruiter/agent has built and maintained an extensive network of employer contacts they can present your credentials to.
4. No Fees: Never pay a fee to be represented by a good recruiter/agent. All fees are paid by the employer company.
5. Face-to-face meetings: The good recruiter/agent will meet with you to get to know you, plus assess your background and skills so that they are prepared to represent you to prospective employers.
