Looking For Work?

With Covid-19 slowly on the downhill and corporations beginning to service and sell as they did before the pandemic. Lots of industries and businesses are trying to re staff and re supply their customers with their products. Many businesses did a good job of keeping their employees during the last couple of months, but others haven’t and had to let much of their workforce go to stay afloat while being shut down. If you’re looking for work right now, you’re in luck. This is turning into a great market. Plus, there are catalysts out there to help you find work as well! They’re called staffing agencies. 

Staffing agencies work by connecting potential employees with companies, corporations, or small businesses that are looking to hire. These businesses will publicize that they are looking for a new employee with a list of qualifications. The staffing agency uploads this request into their database and matches this company with a worker who fits their qualifications. On the employee’s part, it’s really quite simple. All you have to do is visit a staffing agency’s website and fill out their resume/application. 

It will ask for basic information such as name and address, so it’s important that if you’re looking for a job in Portland Oregon, you look for Portland Staffing Services. It will then ask you what hours you’re looking to work. If you have a family and are only looking to work part time or up to 20 hours in order to put family first, that’s all you have to write. Then they’ll only connect you with the jobs who are looking to hire part time employees. It will then ask you for your job qualifications. Just like any application, this is not the time to be humble. 

Tell them why they should want to hire you. What you write down is what they’ll compare with the company’s requests. So if you’re humble, they might think you don’t have the qualifications or job experience and refrain from setting up an interview. They will also ask for your interests, hobbies, and work experience. This will all then be sent to the company and they’ll contact you.

The beautiful thing about staffing agencies is that they do most of the hard work for you. They have a database full of potential workplaces and they match you with them. They also provide a system in which you can find work for all walks of life. As I mentioned before, if you’re only looking for part time, or temporary work, they will help you find jobs that fit your schedule and your way of life, thus, saving you time doing the heavy lifting yourself. However, if you’re looking for a career, they’ll help you find a job in which you can start progressing in and stay with for an indefinite amount of time. If you have any other questions, or if you would simply like to see how it looks, as mentioned before, simply search “Portland Staffing Services” for an example.
