Have a question for those who work in hh. When you are with more than one agency, if one of them does not offer your any cases or you have not worked a case for them for some time, how do you treat this on your resume? Technically an employee, but not working for the employer. Does it matter how long you haven't had a case from them? I would think there would have to be a resignation or a termination by the employer before you put a cutoff date on your resume. Interested in hearing how others handle this situation. Thanks.

If I haven't worked any recent cases from the agency and don't plan on picking up any shifts in the near future, I would still include them on my resume, listed as inactive. The agencies I have worked for will change your status to "inactive" if you do not work for them for a period of 1 year. The process of becoming "active" again is usually similar to that of a new hire. Also, if you no longer wish to work for an agency, it's as simple as calling HR and having them change your status to inactive.

Thanks for your response Pipsqueak. I have seen "inactive" next to people's names in the office, but no one has ever explained inactive status to me and it's not in any employee handbook. I just wouldn't want to list the employer and have someone call them and get the response, "Who's that? She doesn't work for us."
