Tips for Job Hunters: At the Agency - You've made an appointment with an agency, and in addition to being honest, it helps to be prepared. Here are a few hints as to what you should do and expect.

• If you can, arrive with a resume. But don't fret if you don't have one. The agency has a form for you to complete.
• Plan to spend some time there. It takes time for the agency to interview, test and work with you.
• Dress as if you were going to the office. Agency representatives will be able to determine immediately whether or not you need advice on dressing for success.

Job hunters often feel they must embellish their skills to land a job, but when you sign up to work with an agency, exaggerating your skills may work against you. You could end up in the wrong position.

At the initial interview with an agency, you will be asked such questions as:

• Have you worked in an environment that involves professional executives?
• Have you worked in an environment that requires you to support many people versus just one boss?
• Are you more comfortable in a laid-back environment that only requires casual dress, or do you prefer to wear a suit every day to the office?

Your answers to these types of questions will let the agency know about your soft skills. Since these are not already covered on your resume, your honesty here is essential to where you will be placed. Hard skills, such as experience with computer software and typing, are easy to test and help you get your foot in the door. Soft skills, the people skills and experience you've gained in different environments, may indicate whether or not you'll last on a certain assignment.
