Starting from scratch ain't easy.

When you finish your 4 (or in my case 5) -year tenure in your undergraduate studies you, like most, may have high hopes of quickly landing a job and having it pay you $50K+ your first year. We can all dream, right?

However after making your new shiny resume that lists your Bachelor's degree and sending it all over the place, you may find out that's it not all that easy to find your first job.

Such is the beauty of employment agencies. They are generally free to use in my experience. They see your resume on Monster or another big job search engine where you've eagerly posted you resume, and if they like your resume and think one of their current clients (employers) is a good potential match they will call you. Some of these agencies are very good about describing the job to you over the phone, some haven't a clue as to what to tell you. They can often get you interviews though, and if you get the job your new employer pays the agency, and you don't see any fees or anything out of your own pocket.

Totally off topic: Last night I chopped the tip of my left index finger a bit with a kitchen knife while slicing onions for my famous meatloaf. It's been a little uncomfortable to type this with the huge bandaid I have on. :)

'til next time!
