I had a million jobs. And I haven’t found one that I like and now we’re in the middle of the Covid-19 apocalypse and I won’t have a job after this is over, whenever that is.
There are a few ways to getting a new job, one is apply directly to the company or apply through a job agencies. And this is about the latter.
You apply on the agency’s website, upload a cover letter and a resume. After reading the application, you may get an invite for an interview. The ones I had basically sum up like this:
- Fill out paperwork, which means copying your resume on the piece of paper. ID copying, lots of it.
- Interview
- End interview with the following: “The role you applied for has now been fulfilled, but we’d like to keep your details on file, in case a new role will pop up”
And you’ll never hear from them again. I have so many questions, and one of them is, HOW DO THESE AGENCIES KEEP IN BUSINESS? And WHO IS ACTUALLY EMPLOYED THROUGH AN AGENCIES? Coz’ I never met anyone who got a job through an agency.
If anyone has an answer to these 2 questions, let me know. I’m dying to know.
