As with many questions, the answer is: "It depends". If you are a recent graduate, looking to land a competitive job, the head hunting firms may not be the best option. This is because the good headhunting firms typically work with hundreds or thousands of candidates. As a less experienced candidate you will be at a disadvantage. The odds are more in your favor, when you choose a top rated local job site. The head hunting companies typically turn to the job sites in order to increase their pool of qualified candidates and are often the largest clients of the career sites. hrlady@hrlady.com (Julie Price) Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ezilon.com/articles/articles/3732/1/Watch-your-step-buddy%21---Best-Resume-Writing-for-Graduates Must read guide for all students on how to write a resume. contact@getresume.com (Rade Santrac) Fri, 05 Jan 2007 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ezilon.com/articles/articles/1979/1/New-Supervisor%3A-Prepare-for-Your-Changed-Role How different will your new job as a supervisor or team leader be compared to your old job?
