Living in Los Angeles and unemployed? Are you looking for a job but having no luck? Tired of looking on the internet or in the employment ads in the newspaper? Does it seem like you’re getting no where fast? Try visiting the following employment staffing agencies and they’ll be able to place you with a job and your worries will be over.
Before you contact or visit a staffing agency prepare for your visit. Always have a few copies of your resume on hand to give to the agency. They will ask you to fill out an application so bring all information you need for the application. Information you may need will include, references and their phone numbers, previous employers and their information, and your personal data which you’d put on all applications. You will most likely go through a set of “tests” which will measure your skills in different areas. You will also go through a job interview, just as you would for any job. Be prepared to be at the agency for several hours. It’s best to call the agency and schedule an appointment, rather than walk in, because then you’ll not have to wait to be seen.
After you’ve filled out the application and taken the skills tests you may be offered a open job right away, but sometimes you have to wait. Call in several times a week, if not once a day, for updates on job openings. This will also show the agency that you are ready and willing to work, and get you noticed so that they pull your name first for a job.
When you finally do get a job, if you signed up with multiple agencies, call them and let them know you’re unavailable. They’ll make you inactive but they’ll keep your information. With most agencies should you lose your job in the future all you have to do is call in and active yourself and maybe go through skills testing again. But you won’t have to do the application and interview process again.
