Use A Recruiter or Staffing Agency 

Using a recruiter or staffing agency is an excellent way to advance your career or find your next job opportunity. They are specialists in connecting job seekers with employers and offer valuable insights and guidance throughout the hiring process. 

One of the most significant benefits of working with a recruiter is access to job openings never advertised. Recruiters often have relationships with companies and know positions not posted on job boards or company websites.  Recruiters can also help you tailor your cover letter and resume to the needs of the position, increasing your chances of an interview. 

A recruiter offers a level of support throughout the hiring process. They can guide interview preparation, negotiate job offers on your behalf, and provide feedback on your performance after the interview. 

It is important to note that while recruiters can be a valuable resource, you should also do your own research and due diligence on any job opportunity presented. Ensure the job aligns with your career goals and values and that the company culture fits well.

Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force.
