Looking your telephone book, you'll find dozens of
employment agencies throughout New Zealand. Regardless of
your location, all these agencies want your business!
Your location, skills, and job requirements are the primary
factors when choosing a New Zealand employment agency.
Since you don't know the agency, and they don't know you,
here are five ways to find the agency that's right for you:
Ask around!
New Zealand employment agencies with satisfied clients are
often the very best way to get a feel for how the agency
operates.
An agency should represent the company who hired them to
recruit suitable applicants and they should, with equal
vigour, represent you.
It is their function to represent both the hiring client
and the job applicant with equal priority and enthusiasm.
If you know someone who has had a good experience with a
New Zealand employment agency, this is the best
professional reference you can acquire.
Once you have decided on a certain agency, be thoroughly
prepared and do your homework!
Develop your own professional portfolio that includes your
educational background, all your skills and experience
using these skills, your job requirements, past employers
and at least three letters from professional references.
Some agencies may ask why you left previous employers, so
be ready for this question.Your curriculum vitae is the
most important part of your portfolio.
If you feel a bit inadequate in thoroughly expressing your
educational and professional accomplishes, consider hiring
a freelance writer who specializes in CV preparation.
The length and complexity of your CV will determine the
price charged by your writer.
You can find a CV specialist by doing a Google search of
the writers' job boards like Elance, DirectFreelance,
iFreelance, cragslist.com, WriterLance, JustMarkets.com and
many others.
Dress for success!
When you have your first interview with a New Zealand
employment agency, you need to create only the best
presentation of your skills as well as your professional
deportment.
Always keep in mind that your employment agent and your
prospective employer rely heavily on first impressions!
When you first meet with your employment agency keep in
mind your agent will advocate for you and prospective
employers.
Job seekers who secure a job via a New Zealand employment
agency gives the agency credibility with employer clients
and other job seekers as well.
This is how the agency profits from matching the right
applicant for the right employer.
Armed with this knowledge and preparation, you now know how
to use the services of a New Zealand employment agency to
your best advantage.
