Anyone ever...
worked with recruiting firms? I have been out of work for over a year and have had no luck finding a job on my own, so I was thinking of trying a recruiting firm. Anyone have any experience with this, good or bad? TIA!
Re: Anyone ever...
It can't hurt.
I have gotten interviews thru firms, but never a job offer. I did get a call from a firm downtown for my current job, but I had already scored an interview on my own!
GL!
I got my current job through KNF&T. I highly recommend them.

It can't hurt, but I've never found them useful.
Just keep in mind that they are working for the employer, not for you. Yes, they want to find you a job because they get paid by the company if they place you. However, don't make the mistake of thinking that means they're out there actively looking for a position for you; they're looking for someone who can fill the employer's needs. Does that make sense? I guess what I'm trying to say is hope for the best but don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.
Good luck in your search. I was off for over a year as well until I started this new job on Monday. What are you looking for?
Thanks ladies....
Rock, that makes sense. I just figured I have been looking so long, this can't hurt the process any. I worked in banking. I was an assistant manager, and a branch manager, but I really don't want to go back to that field. I have been looking for either an admin position, or for an entry level position in a law office, since I am going to school for a paralegal.
I was a paralegal at a law firm for a few years until I moved here. Honestly, try a placement agency (or a temp agency). That's how I ended up with my job. We did foreclosure law, and they are always looking for people! (I know, it sounds awful, but it's really not. You wouldn't believe the idiots who think they can just stop paying their mortgage and keep living in their house...) Especially if you are looking to enter the field, it's a great place to start. If you look in the legals section of the paper, every firm lists their name and number at the bottom of the foreclosure ad- and I bet if you call and ask for HR it will get you SOMEWHERE.
