Are there any "mature friendly" employment agencies?

We Answered:

I am not in the staffing business, but I wholeheartedly agree with Jamie G above. I am a Vice President for a privately held company that uses the "temp-to-hire" philosophy a lot, so I have experience in this from the employer's side of the fence. I live in a city where we have 2.6% unemployment, so believe me, age isn't the "detriment" to future opportunity that you may fear it is. I'm not saying age discrimination doesn't exist, but my point is that everybody I know locally in my field is looking for candidates and its a great time to be a candidate in this particular market.

Take Jamie's advice and allow him (her?) to look at your resume. Most of us perceive ourselves differently than others perceive us, and you sound like you could use some honest, caring, yet candid advice about your resume and how you present yourself in general. Take this advice to heart, don't get defensive about it, and you may discover that with a couple of simple tweaks, you can find a position well-suited to you with a company you like with potential for future growth.

Also temp agencies are not the only alternative here. Network with all your professional and personal contacts. This is an increasingly effective means to find work in this day and age. Again, from an employer's perspective, a candidate whom somebody I know knows brings with it "less risk" than a completely unknown candidate.
