Job placement assistance is a form of help provided to job seekers from all walks of life by a variety of different sources. This type of assistance usually includes a combination of career counselling and skills assessment, along with guidance on writing a resume, drafting a cover letter and filling out a job application. Job placement facilitators then help job seekers find appropriate position openings and work with them to prepare for interviews.
In this job placement venue, job seekers register with the agency of their choice and provide the company with their work history, education credentials and employment preferences. The agency then looks for appropriate matches in its database of job openings, and facilitates introductions and interviews. An agency may offer part-time, temporary or full-time job search options. Some agencies specialize in a particular industry, while others handle a variety of fields.
