Changing your job.

Some people say that Americans go to work with resumes in their pockets. In this country, it is not unusual for people to change jobs frequently; changing jobs is a way of advancing professionally and financially. It is not considered strange for a person to have three or four job over period of ten years.

If you have a job and want to change it, keep the old job while you look for a new one. Having a job gives you an adventure. You can take your time and be selective. You also have bargaining power. You may get a better salary offer if a prospective employer knows you are not in urgent need of a job.

Employment Agencies.

 

In Britain there is a special service for school leavers, the Careers Advisory Service, which helps young people who are looking for their first job. Careers Officers give practical advice on interview techniques, application forms, letters, pay, National Insurance and Trade Unions.

One business organization that you may use when you are job-hunting is an employment agency. There are the state employment services and nonprofit agencies that do not receive fees for finding jobs for people. There exist also private employment agencies which receive a fee. Some employment agencies see applicants without an appointment. These include the state employment agencies and nonprofit agencies. Counselors there may spend a few minutes with each applicant.

But an agency that deals with technical and higher – salaried jobs, spends much more time with each applicant. Appointments are necessary in this type of agency , where a counselor may be able to see only a few applicants a day. An interview for any kind of job, whether the interview is obtained through a friend, classified advertisement, or an agency, generally requires an appointment. It is important to be on time for your appointment. If you have made an appointment and cannot keep it, or if you will be more than ten minutes late, you should always call the interviewer. If you do cancel the appointment or notify the interviewer that you will be late, you will create a negative impression on your possible employer.

To make efficient use of time, American business people schedule their days hour by hour. In most American business situations, appointments are a necessary courtesy.
