There have been a lot of changes in the marketplace over the years. And especially in a specialized job search, such as the marine industry, how do you find the right job for you? Have you thought about working with a staffing firm that specifically handles placements in marine environments? What are the benefits of this kind of relationship? Here are 3 things to keep in mind as you continue your job search.
1. Personalized service
A recruiter with a marine staffing firm can narrow down your needs and find local opportunities that fit your experience. They also have connections within the industry that you may not have access to. They can coach you in your search, help you perfect your resume, and direct you toward additional resources that can help you land the right job in the industry. They also provide future career support as your relationship with that recruiter never has to come to an end. Even when you’re employed, you may become a client or use their services in the future.
2. No out of pocket expenses
You may be concerned about working with an agency because you’re afraid it will be too expensive and if they can’t find you a position, what happens next? The truth is, staffing agencies are never a cost for the job seeker. All of the payment arrangements for the agencies services are between the staffing provider and the client company. Job seekers receive the benefits of this personalized service because the recruiter’s job is to find qualified people for their client’s open positions.
3. Flexible staffing options
Maybe you don’t know exactly what it is you’re looking for in a marine job. Maybe you are interested in learning more about the environment. Maybe you want to develop your skills. Working with a specialized marine industry recruiter, you can consider short-term temporary assignments. In the event that an environment is not suited to you, you have a contact to talk about the issues. If they can’t be solved, your recruiter can help place you in another positive using the information they’ve learned to better serve you and your employment needs.
