How to Get a Job Right This Second

clarissa
It's a common scenario. You may have just gotten laid off from your job. You may have quit your job sooner than you planned to. Or you may have just gotten fired. Whatever happened, you're without a job and without a plan. And the worst thing is, you may not qualify for unemployment. But there's no need to fear, you can get a job right is very second. Here's how to do it.

Work the game.

This is how the game of getting your bills paid right now is played. It's all about you. There's no need to be nice, polite, or considerate. So here's what you do. Look for directories of all the temp agencies in your regional area.

Hint: you may be looking for agencies in two different states to really maximize your opportunities. For instance, I live in South Jersey, but I also live just fifteen minutes away from Philadelphia. Therefore, I look for temp agencies in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. One of the best directories is right in the phone book. And if you're going to even bother with the web, I'd suggest going to www.knockemdead.com. They have plethora of resources on directories, including those for temp and other employment agencies.

Get yourself about 100 temp agencies. And do some calling one morning. You have to call in the morning because for a lot of the agencies, you'll have to come in to do a brief interview to get a job, and most agencies stop doing interviews at about three o clock.

So, call the agencies and find out three things: who can see you right this second, who is just taking resumes, and who will let you call in and check to see if they have jobs available for you.

The last part is the most important detail in getting a job right this second. To get a job, right this second; you absolutely have to know if the agency will let you call them to see if they have available jobs. I say this because a lot of agencies have "gatekeepers." These are secretaries or admin assistants who pick up the phone and make it difficult for you to talk to the people who actually place you in temp or permanent positions. If you try to call these types of temp agencies for a job right this second, they'll ask you if you are calling in available. But basically that's as far as you'll get unless the recruiter asks to speak to you to let you know he or she has found the perfect fit for you.

But if you can call an agency and speak to the recruiter directly, and ask about available jobs, you can quickly find out which jobs need people right now, and are willing to skip interviews. You can find out which jobs don't need you to submit a resume and therefore require you to compete with other applicants. And you can find out which jobs the agency has been desperately trying to fill for days, and voila here you are.

That's how you get a job right this second. If you lose a job at any time in your life, you can always go back to this strategy. It works like a charm.
