Employment Agencies

These organizations are primarily candidate geared. They spend a great deal of time educating potential candidates on how to write a resume, how to prepare for an interview, and how to conduct themselves in an interview—basically, how to get hired. When organizations that list with that particular agency need candidates, the employment agent scans through the databases to find individuals with the required skill set. Most states have state-run employment agencies, but check to see what other specialty employment agencies are in your area.
