If I’m a member of the (UK) job agency Michael Wisher, am I allowed to sign up for any other job agencies?
I’ve been offered two jobs so far, but I can’t do either
.
I’ve been thinking of signing up to one or two other job agencies, so I can get more choice (fingers crossed).
I’m a student and I really need flexible work! I’ve not had to pay the agency a single penny.
But yes, I’ll sign up for another few agencies in case.
You should sign up to as many as you can keep track of.
All these agencies do for their money is present a batch of CV’s to their employer clients. The scandal is that they sometimes charge the applicant a fee as well as the employer. The whole business is a rip-off, but a very lucrative one, for them. They are the real parasites of the employment business.
You are just cannon-fodder as far as they are concerned, just another name on the register, nothing more. You owe them no loyalty. They will certainly show you none. By this time next month, although you may be on their register, you will have been forgotten.
Don’t, for heaven’s sake, depend on these agencies to get you a job. The best thing is a job club, or just using the internet. Most jobs, nowadays, are advertised on-line.
Best of luck… I know how it feels.
