It's important to think about how you want to work with recruitment agencies. Remember, you are telling them about your skills and they will help you find a job. You are working together.
To make the most out of your recruitment agency, make sure you:
- keep in regular contact with them
- give them all the information they need, including all your contact details and references
- are honest
- keep your CV accurate and up to date
- tell them if there is a particular type of job you don't want - be upfront and save time
- listen to any advice they have about improving your CV, remember they are professionals and they want to help you get a job
Talk to your agency if they aren’t finding you work - it may be there are no jobs available. Think about other types of work you are willing to do or register with another agency.
If you need more advice about recruitment agencies in your area, please contact your nearest Jobcentre Plus office.
