hi guys and girls

anyone know any good job agencies/ recruitment places around liverpool area?

The shift im working is going to close down next week, because of stupid supervisor not getting enough production out.

i tried the usual websites seek etc, but i call up and all they say is "position filled".

so anyone recommend any around this area or a bit further?

Larry - you need to specify what type of industry you are in. Recruitment agencies specialize in different fields - if you work in any of the professional industries, you need a specialist firm as they usually get all the best roles (due to their existing database of candidates)

Cris - unfortunately uni students are at the bottom of the food chain at the moment (at least in my industry anyways). With the bad economy, and so many people being laid off, the few companies that are hiring are able to snap up experienced and quality labour for cheap. That's just reality. However, you never know there's always exceptions to every rule.

I've started looking around, despite there being no immediate threat to my employment - just want to see what's out there and ultimately how attractive I am to other employers. Surprisingly I've been offered two roles in less than a week, both matching or bettering my current package - I turned them both down for a few reasons which I won't go into. But yeah, there are jobs out there - just make sure your CV stands out from the crowd.

FYI I use 2 personal agents who work for competing agencies - they know this - which makes them work very hard as they want the fee associated with any placement to be theirs.

recruitment/job agencies are shit but almost your only choice if your short on searching time, there lazy and tend not to listen when you talk to them even though they write it down... I asked a few of them to look for a job for me (pathology industry, the only area not effected at all by the economy) and they seem to want to find jobs in other areas of science or unrelated jobs like a geologist scientist.... nothing to do with my qualifications...

gf was also looking for a job with the threat of redundancy looming and she had an even worse time in the marketing field, atleast she wasn't made redundant so she quickly told the recruitment agencies (that should change there names to "False Hope Agencies") to piss off.

they make up jobs that don't exist, make you go to interviews that just waste your time....

my advice is to use them but do not for the love of god rely on them unless you happen to know them personally.... also satanic has the right idea.... play them off and make them compete to find you jobs.... search yourself online aswell and research the area you are looking to seek employment and ask the potential employers by yourself if thereare any positions going and how to apply for the job.

Its near impossible to get a job atm!

Im uni holidays, been lookinf for 3 weeks now, over 30 different job applications and absolutely nothing back!

+1 uni holls cant get a job. man i hate group interviews. alotta stores have them :P

warehouse, pick packer and process.

Try Manpower and/or ReadyWorkforce.

pretty sure both are based in parramatta. Manpower might be blacktown though.

Umm,if your keen fit and don't mind the cold,try to get into IGA silverwater(cold storage)

ride those cool crowns with the rabbit button.good pay and Unlimited free food + shares same block

Also,theres an agency on Holbeche rd(Arndell Park) can't remember the name,but they place people

over at Autonexus at Wetherill Park on Victoria street. just picking and packing car parts for like

Lander n shit i believe.
