We had an uncomfortable job search strategy session with Keely a few weeks ago.

She sounded desperate. She had met some unexpected resistance in interviews . . . two in a row. Turns out prospective employers were questioning her about how her background could possibly fit into their organization.

She clutched. She stumbled. She came away from the interview feeling totally defeated. Of course, this colored her enthusiasm for continuing her job search.

Keely’s story is not unique. It happens to all of us in one way or another–especially when we’re looking for a job. The question is: how you respond to it?

Are you going to be a victim or a professional?

1. You’re a victim if you start putting yourself down. You’re a professional if you acknowledge that there’s something you need to learn so this doesn’t happen again.

2. You’re a victim if you blame the employer for failing to see how good you are. You’re a professional if you take the time to understand what an employer’s needs are.

3. You’re a victim if you throw in the towel because you’re discouraged. You’re a professional if you pick up the pieces and move forward to the next encounter.

4. You’re a victim if you let your friends make excuses for you. You’re a professional if you ask your friends to practice with you so you can do better the next time.

5. You’re a victim if you get angry and just give up. You’re a professional if you understand why you would be angry. And then get over it ands move on toward your goal.

Job Complaint is never easy. There are plenty of bumps in the road that can discourage you. On the other hand, there are wonderful strategies and techniques that can get you past the bumps and turn you into a job search professional.

For any person who doesn’t have a job, looking for one at an employment agency seems like a very good option. Also, you might want to consider learning new things, which will get you in trend with the developments around us.

For years, economists have anticipated mass unemployment created by information technology, but rather than unemployment occurring, employment is shifting from one end of the spectrum of workers to the other, but that doesn’t mean that many jobs are not being lost.

These jobs are those held by low-skilled workers, but there are even more jobs that are being created for those who are educated and skilled. It is unfortunate for those who are low skilled and losing their jobs due to the fact that there are few employment opportunities they qualify for with their level of skill.

For example, information technology may have created advances in the steel industry and replaced a steelworker, thus causing him to lose his job, but the technology developed may have created jobs developing and monitoring and maintaining this technology. The problem rests with the fact that this steelworker, who has just been laid-off, is not the same person who will gain a job due to the increase in technology.

This loss of jobs for the unskilled and gain of jobs for the skilled is creating a widening of wage differentials in favor of the better educated. The jobs that are being created are available for those educated in the computer and technology industry. Increased technology creates a demand for those who can develop and maintain the equipment.

These skills are acquired with through training and upper-level education, which all people are not able to partake in, thus excluding a large amount of the labor force, namely the lesser skilled. Many of the workers who are deemed low skilled are high-school dropouts and those without college degrees, which are also those who do not meet the criteria to hold jobs in the information technology field.

It is imperative that workers invest in their human capital through improving their level of education and knowledge in the technology field and thus possibly gain entry into this field, and eventually receive a greater rate of return to those who do not acquire the knowledge or skills.

There is a greater demand for labor among the skilled than the unskilled and laborers must equip themselves to take part in this labor expansion. The productivity of the work force for lower-skilled workers has increased due to technology, but at the same time replaced the jobs of many.

A job that may have taken two people an hour to accomplish may now only take one worker half the time due to the development of new technology. The cost of labor has also been changed. In most cases a machine is more economically effective than paying a worker to do the same task.

Five Ways to Find The Best Employment Agency

People around the globe consistently rate two things in their lives as the most important: their families and their jobs. When something goes wrong in either of these areas, it’s always a serious problem.

In addition, in the United States, Canada, Mexico, England, Australia and New Zealand, the number one cause for divorce is job-related financial problems.

Using an employment agency to find the right job for your skills and salary requirements can make your career search much easier and faster.

All employee agencies are not created equal. As in every field of business, some are very good and some have a low success rate. When making your decision about which employment agency is best for you, consider these five points:

1. How long has the employment agency been in business?

Agencies that have been in existence for five or more years have usually established a good reputation for success with both employers who seek qualified applicants, and for clients who register with the agency to aid in their job search.

2. Does the agency’s prospective employers coincide your skill level?

If you’re seeking a position as an executive administrative assistant in a large company but don’t have the necessary skills for this high-level job, the agency should inform you of this problem right away and refer you to another employment agency with a prospectus of employers more suitable for your skills.

3. How did you find the employment agency?

In a matter as important as your career and financial stability, picking up the telephone book and picking an agency at random isn’t a good idea. Word of mouth is an excellent way to choose an agency; ask friends, current co-workers or anyone else you know if they have used a particular agency with good results.

Primarily, audition the employment agency! Since your career depends upon the qualifications and procedures of the agency, you have the right to ask questions such as their percentage success rate and an honest appraisal of how an agency can best help you.

4. What’s your first impression of the agency personnel?

Jobs seem more scarce these days, and there is more competition for some specialty areas. When you first meet with the personnel manager assigned to you, pay attention to his/her demeanor towards you - are you viewed as just another case file, or does your manager take a serious interest in your job search?

5 Ask specific questions about the employment agency’s policies.
