Job Placement - Pros and Cons

Looking for a job in a today's competitive market can be stressful whether you're a teenager looking for your first job, a recent college graduate trying to get into the career field or someone who has years of experience but got downsized, the job market is hard to get into right now.

The landscape of the working environment is changing with the economy though and many people who never thought of working for anything thing less than a full time employer are now realizing the benefits to working for temporary agencies or working multiple part time jobs.

Everyone who has been out of work during the recession has already heard the familiar stand by advice- network, apply for anything and don't give up. But a very valuable resource still has not been fully tapped into and that is job placement agencies. Many people are still working under the mindset that the economy will right itself and the once robust job market will magically reappear. In all likely hoods financial experts say the market will and is improving but that robust job market may never be what it once was and the workforce will need to adapt with the change.

Let's face it the recession changed how jobs were viewed and it also changed how jobs were gained. Working for a job placement agency can help you get your foot in the door to get back to work in ways that you never expected were possible. If you've never had a job before you're now competing for the typical teenager jobs such as fast food and pumping gas against experienced workers who would normally not be applying for this job placement. This makes getting your foot in the door even harder and getting any kind of work experience can seem out of reach. An employment staffing agency can help you gain valuable work experience and build up your resume.

If you're a recent college graduate the average time between college graduate and finding a job in the area you studied has increased to thirteen months so a placement agency will at least help you build your skill set and qualifications while you continue to look for your career opportunity.

Many workers are finding the advantages to working for an agency include the freedom to schedule jobs and have some control over their schedules. And as quickly as the landscape of the workplace is changing, the workforce is changing just as rapidly to adapt to the new demands by using employment placement agencies as a new way to stay in the workforce.
