I hope that everyone is having a fabulous day! I am VERY interested in moving to Greenville, and could use some Pearls of Wisdom on who to connect with that might be able to assist me in my job search.
I am a dynamic sales and marketing professional with 19 years experience in building client relationships. I am also an energetic leader in managing multiple key projects that contributes to corporate sales and earnings. I am also recognized as a strong team leader who excels at all aspects of volunteer management and event planning in a Non Profit environment. .
I would be deeply grateful if someone could advise me on what steps I could take to get the proverbial ball rolling! Thanks in advance for all your help!!!!
I hope that everyone has a wonderful day!
Best regards,
G
P.S. I would be more than happy to send my resume if someone thinks it would be helpful.
Reach out to the team at FGP (Find Great People). They're an executive search firm over 30 years old here in the Upstate. Lots of great people there and good knowledge of the hiring up here.

I found FGP to be completely useless when I was job searching a few years ago. I ended up getting a position through a headhunter at Robert Half International. I had a great experience with both Robert Half and my employer where I was placed.

Ouch. RH is a industry joke (in regards to their IT staffing..can't say for their non-IT staffing though). Yeah it really depends on your skillset and who the recruiter is. FGP has it's good and bad I imagine.
I'm biased though I worked there for almost 3 years in the IT staffing part. We rocked the socks off pretty much everyone... At least we thought so.
I can get you a job selling mobile phones at best buy for a fee.
You need to be in the area to network. And you're leaving out important things....how many positions, were you promoted in all of them, how many people have you managed? Sales and marketing is also a code word for call center.
In regards to the staffing agencies..
It all depends on what level position you're looking for - entry level staff, manager, director, executive, etc.
Let me guess you work for TekSystems or Apex right?
Don't just blanket talk about things you have no clue about. I worked in that industry for almost 3 years. I've dealt with both good and bad recruiters from our company to other agencies. No one is perfect that's for sure.
There's a reason why agencies exist. They fill more positions that internal HR could ever imagine. Companies are clueless when it comes to hiring (for the most part). Anyways, it's a hijack from the OP.
If you're a candidate looking for work then you need to market yourself to all agencies. Some are better than others but at the end of the day it's your responsibility to land a job. Not the agency.
No I work for neither. I am in portfolio management and work with some of the largest financial companies in the word. I have had both firms reach out to me over the past few years. They both ended up showing their true colors. Their lack, of professionalism and willingness to screw an employee by getting their cut was enough for me to move on from needing their "services." It's a one sided business model in places like Greenville.
I repeat, both are garbage and I would never recommend them to anyone.

I am in accounting, not IT, so that may make all the difference.
