It seems impossible to find Employment

It's no secret that in this day and age it almost seems impossible to find adequate employment. The entire corporate world appears to be downsizing, right? Today, I'm going to share a secret with you that I learned a few years ago... that's all in your head.

It's a well know fact that a large percentage of job seekers aren't hired because they don't know the proper process for obtaining new employment.

Let me ask you a few questions.

• What did you wear on your interview?

• Were you properly groomed?

• Did you have your resume and references readily available?

If you answered NO to ANY of those questions, you can't honestly say that you gave 100% effort.

What On the Spot can do for you NOW

Have you ever heard your mother say, "If you do it right the first time, you don't have to worry about doing it again"? Those are certainly words to live by, especially in the work field. Anytime you seek employment you should focus on companies that you can see yourself having a future with. Don't be afraid to study the annual reports and other company documents as well.

We can provide you with:

• A list of the top employers in the country.
• The list is composed of both private and public companies.
• We've organized the companies by state and have also categorized them by industry.
• We provide the company phone, fax and industry description.
• In some cases, we offer the senior resource officer's name.

These days it's almost impossible to find creditable information online or anywhere for that matter without paying $59.99, am I right?

I understand that everyone is trying to make better money, but what about the little guy trying to land a better job?

True Story

About two years ago,a good friend of mine moved to Georgia. A month before he left, he began looking for a job in his future city and got nothing but the run around. Keep in mind, he was still employed at his current "9 to 5" as well as trying to spend time with his family. He found job hunting out of state very stressful and very time consuming.

To make a long story short, he ended up having to move to a new city, with his family, into a new home - WITHOUT a new job.

Most companies these days are either hiring online or having seekers fax in a resume. I personally think filling out online applications is an effective route to choose. However, I'm in sales, and if there is one thing that I can say that I've learned, is that THERE IS POWER IN NUMBERS. Faxing your resume is the best thing you can do in my opinion. If you don't have fax machine, you can go to your local print shop or Office Depot and send a fax for less than your daily coffee money. Send multiple faxes. Fax about 20 companies a day. Do follow-up calls. Then guess what's going to happen? In two weeks time, not only will you have an offer, you'll probably have a few jobs to choose from. You need as many irons in the fire as possible to achieve best results.

Have an open mind as well

I hear a lot of people make negative comments about Temp Agencies. I've heard folks say, "Oh, they're just like MLM or pyramid companies." But most of them really have your best interest in mind, because when you stay on the job, it makes them money as well. These days, a number of Temp Agencies are even offering incentives such as health and dental insurance, paid vacations and bonuses.

On the Spot management will also provide you with a list of the Top Temporary Agencies in the country.

Remember, the more outlets you have, the better your chances.

Here's a better idea of what we have to offer

Here in Jacksonville, Florida, we have over 80 businesses and temp agencies listed in our area alone. Each listing comes complete with the business address, phone, fax and contacts. During my research, I've learned that most people really do care about the background of a company. One of my most frequently asked questions pertains to the percentage of minority and women employed at a particular business. All of the companies that we provide access to are all Equal Opportunity Employers (E.O.E.) However, just to give you some names of more companies to research, we have also included the Top 20 Black-Owned businesses to help you on your search.

Now let me ask you a very important question. If I offered you a job paying more than you are currently making - with better hours - would you take it? Think about it. That's exactly what I am offering you. How many more mornings are you going to roll out of bed angry because you hate your own job? The first step is admitting it. The second step is doing something about it. No one wants to wake up 10 years from now and realize that they have wasted a DECADE of their life. Do you ever dream about getting a better job? If you do, the do something about it today.
