One of the most frustrating aspects of looking for employment is the inability of the job seeker to secure a position despite the sheer number of resumes/applications submitted and/or interview opportunities granted by various potential employers. In a similar vein, frustrations can also mount when offers are presented for positions that the job seeker really does not want, while their preferred career aspirations remain unfulfilled.
The fundamental reason for such maddening and unsatisfying outcomes may likely be a lack of focus in their overall job search efforts.
- Distributing resumes indiscriminately
- Pursuing jobs that truly are not of interest
- Simply looking to gain interviewing experience
- Applying for jobs with unrealistic salary ranges
- Knowingly seeking roles where skills/experience are lacking
- Applying just to have ‘more irons in the fire’ across Toronto
In such situations, a considerable amount of time and effort is basically being wasted on unproductive activities – for both the job seeker and the potential employers – while any preferred or even ideal career roles are being offered to/accepted by other candidates.
There are two apparent yet fundamentally important lessons to learn from the above:
- Do not apply for jobs that would not be accepted if offered
- Add focus to job searches to save time, effort, and frustration
From a broader perspective, one way to enhance the focus and direction of a job search would be to enlist the services and expertise of a recruitment agency such as Winters Technical Staffing. Working with an experienced recruiter who is familiar with the job market in and around Toronto will assist the job seeker in separating the wheat from the chaff, in a manner of speaking, with respect to finding new employment.
In other words, tapping into benefits offered by a recruiter will allow a job seeker to direct their efforts toward more viable opportunities rather than employing a more broad-based and inevitably less effective approach.
Use A Recruitment Agency To Establish Parameters For Your Toronto Job Search
- Your experience – what you have been paid to do in the past
- Your skill set – the value that you can contribute to the job/employer
- Your interests and goals – what motivates you to perform/excel
Once these parameters have been established/clearly defined, your recruiter can begin to identify specific employers in the Toronto area with potential openings/opportunities that best match your strengths and objectives.
While there is no guarantee that a job will materialize immediately using such a focused and targeted approach, any and all time and effort saved by implementing this process can be directed to various other services offered by a recruitment agency like Winters Technical Staffing. Such services include but are not limited to:
- Refining your resume
- Addressing interviewing etiquette
- Health and safety training
- Networking opportunities
If your job search lacks focus and would benefit from the services and expertise of a Toronto recruitment agency, call Winters Technical Staffing at 1-877-495-7422 for more information to schedule your complimentary consultation with an experienced recruiter.
