Employment agencies are really helpful.  I am just like you looking for a real job. Got my Associates degree too. It depends on your resume and the skills you have.  They will ask you what kind of work are you looking for. You also have to bring in references if you have never used an agency before. Some agencies require references.  They will test you to see what your typing speed is, your knowledge of Word and Excel. After you are finished with all the tests, you will talk to one of the recruiters to determine if they can have an assignment that matches your skill level and the kind of work you have been doing. Some agencies require you to call in once a week for your availabilty. After you finish registering with one, find others that have what you are looking for in terms of employment.  One agency wouldn't be able to survive these days. In order to keep working, register for about 5-7 at least. That way if one agency don't have an assignment, another one will. If all the agencies you registered with don't have work, continue looking. Something is bound to come up. Good Luck.

The employers are paying those agencies.  Are you prepared to pay a high commission to a head hunter?  Like 10-20% of your first year salary?  That's what they get to find you a job.  It's okay if they work for the employer, they still want to see you get the job, so work with them and that way you aren't paying that commission and you are still hearing about jobs.

It's probably a lot of b.s.  Tell me what you are interested in, I'll tell you what to do, ha!  \n\nNo - I guess job placement services can help tell you what jobs would best suit your interests.

Just as the name would suggest they help to direct you into a career that they and/or you feel that you are best suitable for.  They often will advice on any special courses that are required in certain fields and may be able to hook you up with potential employers.  Look in the yellow pages or have your sister go to Human Resources and Development Centre and they will help also.

Where exactly do you want to work.  You don't sound like a native English speaker, where are you from?  If you really want a job, I believe that it would be more productive to go to an employment agency or a recruiter.

Please understand that I am not saying this to sound mean or anything but you're not likely to find a job on Yahoo! Answers. Even more, if someone were to offer you financial assistance, I'd be very leary of what they might be expecting in return since not everyone is always as nice or honest as we might wish them to be.\n\nNot knowing your situation, your work experience or anything else, there isn't much assistance I can think of providing you in how to best find a job. Even so, I know that every area I've ever lived in has places named "Ready Labor" or something similar where you can go to get a job for the day. I have seen this sort of thing really help people when they are in need of cash now, rather than two weeks down the road. Having the skills they might be needing or being willing to do manual labor is normally the problem with a job like this, however.\n\nThe other thing you could look into is a temporary agency. There are different kinds out there, some that are more along the lines of the day labor places but for folks who do clerical work. Most larger cities have them &, like the day labor places, they can get cash in your pocket today. I had the opportunity to use one of these once & took a clerical job where I was hired permenantly the same day...\n\nGood luck!

That's unlikely - any such agencies are more than like scam artists, looking to take your money without fear of prosecution.\n\nI came here on an L-1 visa; that is an intercompany transfer on the basis of special skills (I have special skills in computing). Companies can also hire on a limited work status H1-B visa, but again only if you have special skills.\n\nFor a regular job, the company must advertise the position locally for at least three months; they must conduct 'good faith' interviews, and they must not turn down a qualified candidate in order to hire you. They must keep paper records of the ads placed, and they must have records of each candidate that applies, and each interview. They must be able to demonstrate that none of the US candidates could fill the position.\n\nThis is a lot of work and companies are rarely willing to do this unless there is a really good reason to - such as you having a skill that they require and which is not available locally.

Sorry.  I would suggest you keep researching or call up some job agencies and get a better description of what a potential employer would look for in an assistant.  Find out what type of background you nee and what type of personality is best suited for that particular line of work.  The agency should be able to help you answer these questions and/or introduce you to someone who has or is  working in that field,

I would imagine that most of the places that would utilize your specialities are either Government Agencies or these sites might be a good start.\n\nMany of these sites will send you email notifications for jobs that meet your criteria or you can subscribe to RSS feeds which you can read in an RSS Reader.

Just walk into various places that you go to and ask if theyre hiring. If they are, ask them for an application.
