I have been working in the information technology field for several years. Recently, I was let go from my position due to downsizing. I have a very impressive background in the field with many years of experience. I sent my resume to many companies in the area and on a few online job search forums. Six months went by and I still had no work. I was referred to an IT staffing service to help me with my job search. They were able to locate a job for me in a neighboring city that I didn’t even knew existed. By knowing the company they were recruiting for and going over my strengths and weaknesses, they were able to match me with a company I could feel comfortable with and had room to grow.
