2. Sign Up With A Staffing Agency (Or Three)

Staffing agencies are well known for placing people in jobs fairly quickly. I suggest you sign up with more than one agency to multiply your chances of getting a job. Call the offices or walk into the location and discuss your resume. The recruiter will let you know if there are openings that match your skillset and then will be in touch from there.


Stay by your phone! A job opportunity can arise anytime. It is not unheard of for staffing agencies to get last minute request for a worker that same day. The more prepared you are to work immediately; the more jobs opportunities you will get.


Staffing agencies offer temporary assignments (as short as one day), temporary-to-permanent (temp to perm) jobs, and direct hire jobs. For temporary and temp to perm jobs, you are on the staffing agency’s payroll until the company hires you directly. Often, the pay from the staffing agency is much lower than the actual pay for the job because the agency takes a cut. If you are lucky to find a direct job, you will join the company and be on the company’s payroll right away. (That’s how I landed the job I have now!)
