One belief is held by most area executive recruiters: Houston administrative employees are, for the most part, top notch. This good in many ways but it means that you must really be on top of things in order to make sure you stand out among the crowd.

So, how do you stand out above the crowd to make sure that your name is the one that comes to mind when attractive administrative positions are available? Consider the answer to the following questions objectively. You can be sure that the recruiters for Houston administrative staffing agencies will be asking them.

Do you currently have a job? As odd as it sounds, it is easier to place a professional that has a job than one who is jobless. Even if your current employment situation isn’t the best in the world it is a good idea to stay employed while you are looking for new work.

Do you have outstanding references? It’s one thing to state your own case but when others are willing to extol your virtues it makes a longer lasting impression. More importantly, it’s a sure sign that you have done your job well with former employers.

Have you been honest? Honesty really is the best policy when it comes to resumes and job interviews—even with recruiters. Don’t overstate your position, duties, education, or wages. The truth almost always comes out eventually and anything less than the truth will seriously damage your credibility.

Do you know your own strengths? What is it about you that makes you sparkle on the job and in a crowd? It is important to know your strengths and sell those strengths.

How does your work history look? Long periods of unemployment, job hopping, and taking jobs that do not show progressive responsibility, growth, or salary raise red flags among recruiters and potential employers. If you have a history of moving around often you may want to stay where you are for a while before seeking another administrative position.

These are a few simple questions you can ask before deciding to work with recruiters. Houston administrative staffing positions are more competitive than you may realize. It’s much better to stay ahead of the game and make sure you stand out among the crowd.
