You're strolling down the shopping street, and between two shops... an temp agency catches your eye! Cool, right? You pop in for a moment because maybe they have a job for you!
That's how it could go, but it's not always a good idea to drop in without an appointment. Perhaps all the consultants are occupied at the moment? Do you have your CV with you? After all, that temp agency could potentially be your future employer, so it's best to make a good impression, of course.
A meeting at an interim agency is more than just a job interview. It's like having ten job interviews in one. A temp agency collaborates with various companies in the area, so if you handle your meeting well, an agency consultant can become your ambassador to those companies. The consultant knows better than anyone else what those companies are looking for and how to market your skills.
So, it's advisable to schedule a meeting with a temp agency. This gives you the opportunity to prepare yourself, review any vacancies, gather information, and update your CV. At the same time, with such an appointment, you ensure that the consultant's focus is solely on you at that moment, allowing them to genuinely listen to you.
Got the hang of it? Then, of course, you can schedule appointments with different temp agencies. Often, they have different clients or specializations, which only enhances your chances. Besides, temp agencies regularly have new job vacancies, so if there's nothing suitable for you today, it might be different tomorrow.
Here's a list of all the temp agencies.
