Job-hunting can be stressful and exhausting financially, time-wise, and energy-wise. The process is often demanding, as you find yourself worried about getting a job and the fact that you have responsibilities to take care of. It would be nice if things were easier and that is one of the reasons staffing agencies exist.

Please Hold This for Me

One of the merits of working with a staffing agency is that you can quickly find a temporary job while you wait to get something permanent. The job may be temporal but you still get paid just like a regular employee and you even get to enjoy some of the regular employee benefits including not being paid below minimum wage.

A staffing agency can get a job for you quicker than you can yourself because often, they are connected with various companies that need employees. Chances are that for you to look for a job by yourself, you have to go through various newspaper ads, internet ads, friends, and the limited contacts on your phone, which I bet may not exceed 2 or 3. However, staffing agencies are connected with more than 10, 20, or 30 companies. They increase the chances of you getting a job by up to 30%. They give you better odds of getting a job than if you did it all by yourself.

Since you’ve taken good care of it, I think you can have it

And the good thing is that if you get a temporary job and do a really good job, chances are that the company you were working for may decide to let you fill that position for good. You see, working with a staffing agency really increases your chances of getting a job.

In addition, the good thing with these agencies is that they are quite good at pairing people with just the positions they wanted. For a staffing agency to get you a job in a company, they must first determine that you are qualified for the position. That means chances are that they will give you a job you are actually good at and you’ll end up doing what you absolutely love.

I see you two are getting along together

If it wasn’t meant for you to permanently fill that job position, at least you will acquire some invaluable skills and experience while working for a company and these are things you can add to your resume.

Sometimes you may be offered a job that is slightly outside your scope of knowledge but something you can quickly learn and add to your skillset. Do you see that this makes you more diverse and increases your value as an employee and an individual? Working in various fields enables you to look at the world from various angles and find solutions you did not know exist. There are things only those with an open mind and a lot of experience can realize. And exploring other fields besides your preferred one is the key to discovering these things.

Another thing to keep in mind with staffing agencies is that once they get you even a temporary job, you’ll be exposed to new people. That means you’ll be expanding your network and even though you may not keep the temp job, perhaps someone you meet while doing the temp job may know about your situation and help you get a job somewhere. That’s why it is said that sometimes, it is not what you know but who you know that determines how fast you get a job.

I hope you realize just how much working with a staffing agency increases your chances of getting a job. Like fishing, when looking for a job, you want a net that can spread as far as possible because that will increase your chances of catching fish – your chances of getting a job. Working with a staffing agency is the big net that has the capacity to spread wide and present you with as many job opportunities as possible. The more options you have, the higher your chances of not only getting a job but one you also like.
