One of the easiest ways to save yourself from the hassles of a healthcare job search is to approach a good recruitment agency. Provide them the details of your education, work experience, and expectations, and they will work to ensure that you get hired by a good company. Below, we look at four tips that can help you get the best experience from these agencies.
Commitment
It is human nature to see someone who commits to something as having good character, and as being trustworthy. This is true at recruitment agencies too. If you show the agency that you are committed to them and believe in their expertise to find you a good job, then it is very likely that the agency will work hard to ensure that they do place you in an excellent post. So, when dealing with the agency, always be prompt with your answers. And if an agency suggests some improvement, say your hairstyle, then try to implement it as soon as possible.
Have CV Ready
Always have your Curriculum Vitae (CV) ready in multiple formats so that you can hand it over to the agency whenever the need arises. If you are unable to send the CV immediately, then the agency might see it as a negative. And in the worst case scenario, the agency might end up accepting another application and promoting that individual just because you failed to submit your CV on time. Ideally, you should have the CV ready in word format and as a PDF. And when asked for it, forward both the formats to the agency.
Meet Personally
Ensure that you meet with the agency representative face to face. While sending CV is one thing, relying on it to create an impression on their minds is foolhardy. After all, the agency will only go through a written description of you and will never know your true personality until and unless they meet you. This is why it is necessary to set up a meeting with the agency as soon as you send them your CV. And be sure to impress them with your knowledge and wisdom about the niche you are working in. This will considerably boost your chances of getting a good job through the agency.
Provide Interview Feedback
Not every interview recommended by the agency is going to be successful. There will be many interviews where you will spend hours and still will not be hired. However, the main thing to remember is to report to the agency as soon as the interview is finished. Tell them about how the interview went, whether the interviewer was rude or decent, whether you think the interview was a success, and so on. This will not only help the agency do better as a recruiter, but will also create a good impression in their minds about you.
