How To Get The Job You Really
Really Want - Where To Find Jobs - Career Consultants
Now, these guys are a totally different kettle of
fish. There are some very well established Career Consultants, and
they advertise their services, most weeks, in publications like the
Sunday Times and Sunday Telegraph. They have large databases of
clients, who register jobs with them. They also have historic
databases of senior contacts across commerce and industry.
The Career Consultants tend to work in the higher
remuneration brackets. Want to know why? Well, it's simple.
They don't charge the client for the placement, they charge you.
What they do is take a brief from you as to what sort of job you
would like. They do this at a very formal initial meeting where
they will put together and agree a job search program that is
designed specifically for you.
Having put a program together, they will then tell
you how much it is going to cost you. So, there you have the
reason they only work in the higher salary ranges. It is because it
is only highly paid people that can afford to go to a Career
Consultant.
They do
have some advantages. For example, the search program is tailored
specifically for you. They can also effect introductions to
companies of special interest where you have no contacts. However,
they are expensive. If you are unsure, get a brochure or speak to
one of them on the 'phone. Most have local call or freephone
numbers on which to contact them. Be careful though, they are
skilled salespeople, and you may find yourself
signing on the
dotted line before you know it. Once they start the program for
you, you are bound to pay. So the maxim is, make sure you
definitely want to use this route before you sign up. Having said
that, if you do put your job search in their hands, they will do
virtually everything for you, so there is another major benefit!
