The job market is tough. When you are looking for chemical engineer jobs, they may be few and far between. The more you look, the more you may be getting frustrated simply because you cannot find a job that you either qualify for or that is worth your while applying for based upon your credentials. Regardless of whether you are over-qualified or under-qualified for most of the jobs that you find, you need to begin working with a recruiter.
There are a lot of things that a staffing company is going to be able to do for you. Ultimately, their job is to find chemical engineer jobs for you - and get you hired for one of them.
A staffing company is going to assign you to a recruiter. From there, the recruiter is going to read over your resume, make suggestions, and then begin looking for jobs that you qualify for. If you are under-qualified, there may be some recommendations as to what you can do - including internships and workshops. If you are over-qualified, the recommendation may be to expand your scope of areas you want to work in.
The further you are from the major corporations that offer chemical engineer jobs, the harder it will be to find employment. You may only be willing to travel 30-50 miles a day to go to work. If there are only one or two employers in that area, it may limit you significantly. A recruiter will try as hard as they can, but eventually, they may have to help you face reality - no one is hiring you because there are no vacancies with the companies nearest you.
This means that to find chemical engineer jobs, you may have to think about going further - and maybe even relocating. If you can do it, relocating may be your best option. A recruiter can even work with the companies they work for to see if the costs to relocate will be covered by the new company that you go to work for. They may even fly you out for the interview. It all depends on what you have to offer the company that you are applying with.
Some chemical engineer jobs are not going to be seen online or in print. The reason is because the companies are using recruiters to be able to find positions. They want to keep everything low key because they don't want their competition to know that they are in need of new people. And in some instances, they are replacing employees without their knowledge, which means the last thing they want to do is advertise that they are hiring for someone's position right in front of them.
Recruiters can help to keep things out of the spotlight. When you're looking for chemical engineer jobs, your goal is to be hired. You don't care who does the hiring as long as you're in the running for the position. This means that to be in the running, a staffing company may have to be your go-to source.
