Friends keep sending me information for potential jobs...thank you so much! The more ears to the ground, the better. I am passing information on when I come across it and sharing my information regarding resources for finding jobs. I hope the little information I am providing is helpful to someone. I still haven't really wrapped my arms around the fact that I really have to start looking for a job. I am doing a little bit of searching, but it can be overwhelming when I really think about it.
I am adding information regarding temporary agencies as I find them to be useful. Because I have a background in staffing, I consider temp agencies a very helpful resource. Recruiters can be very helpful too; however, in this economy you have to wonder why someone would pay a recruiter when they have a plethora of people to choose from. Some reasons might include they just don't have the resources to read through the volumes of resumes sent in from both qualified and unqualified applicants. Using a recruiter/staffing agency also allows you to test out staff without the expense of actually hiring them (unemployment, social security, etc.). If they don't like them, no harm done, they just tell the temp company and the person's assignment is cancelled. They don't have to fire the employee and worry with the unemployment claims.
Temporary agencies are just another avenue to explore. I have sent a list out to everyone with a pretty comprehensive list of agencies in the valley. The link also appears in a previous post.
As always, good luck and keep positive.
