The Internet has become an important source of information for the jobseeker. These organizations match the employment needs of an organization with prospective employees. The agency is trying to please the employer, not you, so don t put all your faith in the agency to get the job done for you. In other words, make sure you use other strategies in your job seeking.
Agencies are usually better able to assist individuals who have some significant work experience.
The Office of Career Services maintains a listing of agencies which have done business with us in the past. Networking is simply a term to describe making personal contacts with people who can help you with any aspect of your job search. You should think of everyone you know and everyone you meet as a having the potential for helping you with your job search. These individuals may be able to help you directly, or they may be able to refer you to others. A great way to increase your networking potential is to get involved with campus clubs, activities, and other professional organizations.
