Employment agencies and those who work there most often deal with temporary, temp-to-perm, or experienced opportunities. In truth, they don't find jobs for people—they find candidates for the jobs posted with them. Depending on your job-search circumstances, temporary assignments with the possibility to lead to permanent offers are great transition positions. As a qualified and driven candidate, you should be attractive to employment agencies. Be aware of what they can and cannot do. Keep your expectations of any agency realistic, but do consider these organizations as additional resources.
