Dec 19, 2014

Do you have a New Year’s resolution to find a new job? Whether you are looking for a different job in your field or a completely new career now is the perfect time to make a move. Switching jobs can be a stressful experience, but help is available! If you are ready to make a job change right now, you may want to consider getting the support of a staffing service. A job with a staffing agency will allow you to earn a paycheck while giving you the opportunity to:

  • Explore new career options
  • Gain valuable work experience
  • Learn new skills
  • Build relationships in a new industry

The flexibility offered by employment through a staffing agency can help you determine for yourself which career path will be right for you. You can try out several types of jobs in a new field without making long-term commitments. Plus, you will have a team of staffing specialists helping you figure out your career path.

Friday Services Offers Help to Job Seekers in Western North Carolina

At Friday Services our mission is to bring the right worker to the right job every time. We take your job skills, experience, and interests into account when thinking about what kind of placement might be right for you. We may be able to suggest a job to you that you haven’t thought about before, and then give you an opportunity to try that job out. For example, manufacturing is a growing sector of our economy and industrial employers are offering a lot of good jobs with tremendous growth potential. If you have been interested in beginning a career in manufacturing but haven’t known where to begin, we can help you get an entry-level factory job that will give you the experience you need to advance.

If you know you need to go back to school to achieve greater success in the future, we can help by placing you in a job that will allow you to support your family while you take the time to complete your education or earn certifications. For instance, if you are interested in becoming a CNC Machinist but have not had the necessary training yet, we may be able to place you in another type of Machine Operator position with a local manufacturer. In this case you would gain valuable manufacturing work experience while going to school to earn your CNC Programming Certificate.

A Staffing Job Can Be a Bridge to a Permanent Placement

A job placement through a staffing agency may turn into a permanent position. We can’t guarantee that will happen, but it is a possibility. As the economy has grown stronger and more employers have added jobs, we have seen a rise in the numbers of our workers who are getting offered permanent positions. In fact, the percentage of workers who have gotten permanent employment through our staffing agency increased 135% between 2008 and 2014.
