Job Search Stalled?

The job search process is tiring. Not only does it take a lot of time, it can wear you out putting your self-worth on the line every time you apply for a job, only to be rejected. When you’ve been searching for months, it can seem like there’s just no available jobs out there for you. What if you didn’t have to do this all on your own? That’s where staffing agencies come in.  A staffing agency works on behalf of a company to find temporary employees for positions the company needs filled immediately. The agency is responsible for posting jobs, vetting candidates, and eventually hiring employees. Staffing agencies can be your golden ticket to employment. Here’s why: 1. You can work temporarily while still job searching. Even if you don’t see the position you hold during a temporary job as your life’s calling, it can provide a valuable source of income while you continue the search for your dream job. “Besides helping pay the rent, temporary gigs in your chosen field are a good way to enter the market and make a name for yourself before you commit to an employer,” says Karla L.

How Paychecks Stack Up Across 5 Major Metropolitan Areas

Source: Glassdoor How Paychecks Stack Up Across 5 Major Metropolitan Areas ~ When it comes to paychecks, not all cities are created equal. Companies in a city with a higher cost of living and a low supply of workers, for example, will likely pay more than a city with a lower cost of living and a surplus labor pool. But how exactly does pay vary from city to city? To find out this answer, our Glassdoor research team looked at median base pay and year-over-year pay growth across a variety of positions throughout five major metropolitan areas in our Local Pay Reports. Thinking of moving cities, or just want to see how your pay compares to those across the country? Check out the full results of the most recent local pay reports below. 1. Houston Median Base Pay: $54,278 YoY Pay Growth: 2.4% While Houston has the lowest median base pay of the five major metros studied, it’s still about $3k over the nationwide median of $51,272. And, of course, plenty of positions land above the national average. Physicians, Attorneys and Tax Managers in Houston, for example, can expect to pull in about $257k, $123k and $103k respectively — all

5 Hacks to Find Your Dream Job

If you’ve been out of the job search market, let me be the first to tell you: the game has changed. It’s a new day, and while some of the tried-and-true methods of landing a job — like working your personal and professional networks — haven’t changed, there is plenty that has. Today, the U.S. has millions of job openings and they’re all a great opportunity for the right job seeker. But the trick is to get your resume to the top of the heap and stand out from the pack. However, standing out is no longer simply a matter of having a track record of success or a work history that shows you’re reliable. Insiders say you must have a unique value proposition. Resume expert Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter defines it as “a clear statement that describes the benefit you offer and what distinguishes you from the competition.” In the most basic sense, you’ve got to show a recruiter why you are downright irresistible. Before you dazzle hiring managers with what makes you the perfect candidate for the job, you’ve got to find that job first. Here are a few go-to tricks from our new book “Glassdoor for Dummies” that’ll help
