Find job hunting help
Article Abstract:
Many job seekers often pay to be assisted by placement firms or headhunters. There are some advantages and disadvantages to this. One advantage is that when a job seeker is searching for a junior management position, some placement firms may be in the better position to pursue the position for the job seeker than the seeker himself since many firms only provide their listings of vacancies with these firms and hardly advertise. However, these firms will find a job for the job seeker for a considerable fee and does not give the seeker the control over certain conditions involved in the new job.
