Are Online Employment Agencies Good For You? 
By: Dawson Z. Hardy
Would you like to work in Hawaii? Or Tahiti? Perhaps Australia, Thailand...? Not so long ago that would have been virtually impossible, but now with the advent of the internet and online employment agencies the world is your oyster. Never before have so many people been searching for jobs abroad and that is all thanks to online employment agencies.
Fire up your favorite search engine and search using the phrase "employment agencies" and you will find millions of links (9.8 million on Google at the time of writing). Just browse down the list and you will find many online employment agencies that offer purely local job searches or even offer the chance to search worldwide.
Look for jobsabroad.com. This employment agency specializes in job searching on a worldwide basis. Just check out some of the countries listed. Virtually every country in the world from Andorra to Zambia. Their list of vacancies include volunteer work, long term contracts and short term assignments. They also include information about the countries concerned together with advice on travelling documents needed such as work permits and visas.
Hot.jobs.yahoo.com is another useful online employment agency. You'll will need a Yahoo.com account in order to reap all its benefits but you can get one at no cost that includes an email account. The same account will also allow you to register with job searching related Yahoo user groups and forums
Last in this brief guide but certainly not the least there is probably the best known online employment agency - monster.com. They are truly worldwide with many country specific sites. For instance those looking for jobs in Great Britain would use monster.co.uk. Not only do they offer job searches but their sites contain a lot of useful information for job hunters.
Submitting your resume to any of these sites is simple. Following approval they will place it in their database which is searchable by employers looking for employees. If your resume is chosen by an employer then the employment agency will then contact you.
Obviously you can apply directly for any job that is posted on the website. Just submit a resume and covering letter as well and the agency will do the rest.
As with everything online, be careful when submitting your details. It has been found that quite a few sites posing as online employment agencies are in fact fronts for criminals engaging in identity theft.
