We will call to offer assignments as soon as they are available. We know you will accept if possible, however, we understand when you cannot accept. The most important thing to remember is that you do not have to accept every assignment, but you do need to complete any assignment you accept. We will make every effort to tell you about all aspects of the job ahead of time so that you are aware of what the assignment will entail and so you are comfortable. We will also try to avoid last minute assignments, but occasionally the need arises and we will need to be able to assign people. So please be flexible! Let us know that you are available by calling us approximately once a week. When you call in your availability your name will be put on the "availability list" and we usually check that first when an assignment becomes available.
It is our top priority to place you in a position you are excited about, but we need your help. The following are just a few things you can do to make yourself more marketable.
Skills -
Upon registering with our firm you were questioned and tested on any work related skills and experience you possess. Have you obtained more skills or experience? Have you thought of something you forgot to mention? Are you interested in our training programs? The more you know the better the position we can place you in.
Resume -
An updated, professional, error-free resume is your second most important marketing tool. Have you provided our office with an electronic copy? Have you updated it with any new information? Do you need help writing or perfecting this tool? Our clients often ask to review the resumes of the candidates we propose, make your resume grab attention and get selected!
