My TwoScots Recruitment Experience

I just came from an interview with Giles and Zoe from TwoScots Recruitment and wanted to take the time and write about the whole experience.

Relocating to a whole new place, inching my way in to a very busy and competitive and a whole new job marketplace is a nerve wracking and most often daunting task. But once in a while the sun shines and makes the state of mind a little bit better.

Finding a job here in Australia is as competitive as anywhere else and having come from the Philippines where not much recruitment agencies play in the middle, actually meeting recruiters is as good an experience in itself.

I have been seeing TwoScots in Seek posting jobs for quite sometime now but yesterday was my first time calling the number listed in the ad and getting an interview schedule the day after.

Turned out that their slogan "Partner with us, we're a wee bit different", which I find very catchy, is true.

They're a wee bit different because from the time I announced my presence in the reception until the interview was over I felt very welcome in their office. The consultants I met knew their strings and there's that feeling of knowing I came to the right place. There's no assurance that a job is on its way because they just consult for their clients but putting faces to the job ads and validating how recruitment agencies do not totally ignore the rest of the second best pile and just meeting people to hear what you are capable of and acknowledging them is itself a good use of time.

I guess what I wanted to say is, there are times in our job hunting season when we feel a little better because we find something a wee bit different happening in it. Knowing that there's something happening, albeit not necessarily ending the season, makes us feeling inspired and focused and hoping.
