Do we really have a recruitment company out there which genuinely care about us getting a job? Help us find the job we want? Or these agencies are just focusing on their clients and running after them.
I came to this country with knowledge of marketing and finance 8 years ago for further studies. Once finished, I like many people do, got registered with endless recruitment companies. I didn't want a high profile job, just the one which pays my bill and get me experience in my career. I tried chasing them; calling them every two days and showing up to their door asking for feedback as to why I am not getting any interviews (I of course alongside doing my own job looking but the market was tough)
I understood we were heading towards recession and people were being laid off but that was no excuse for ignoring me and treating me like a pain. For most of the days I was like ' oh no, he is back again' and made to wait hours before anyone sees me.
I did manage to get myself a job, thanks to me applying for over 50 jobs a day. I even got letters from companies asking not to apply because I have already applied 4 times.
Which bring me to my next point; do we really have a recruitment company out there which genuinely care about us getting a job? Help us find the job we want? Or these agencies are just focusing on their clients.
I didn’t have a very good experience in terms of recruitment companies because to me it seems like they don’t give a penny to if we get a job or not. As long as they have enough people on their database to show off to their clients, they are happy. Its like rat race. its not like its one agency its all of them, because believe me I registered myself to anything and everything available out there. Does anyone else has the same experience ? or was I just not good enough after all ?
