All information is in the packet you made me fill out

It's unfortunate placement/temporary agencies conduct business like that. I understand your experience completely. I guess it applies to the "numbers" game. At RobertHalf the staffing specialist stated employers are now using the "vetting" service more these days. Temp. to permanent is currently 1 to 2 years. I choose not to believe that. Please check out "workitdaily" website. It is phenomenal! JT O'Conner, HR consultant has put together an employment strategy to obtain those interviews. So, I revamped my resume and landed a position. She has weekly "live" webinars and sher and her staff followup to ltr/CV reviews within 24 hours. There are so many critical modules with important information. The monthly subscription is $19.00 (with promo code) and you can stop anytime. It is worth every penny....believe me. Good Luck. Less

This agency was the worst in human relations. For the most part, during our Skype interview, the agent looked at his keyboard and not the screen. Makes me wonder the guilt associated with all that contradiction spewing from his mouth. Or that he was a music major, paying the bills in this position. Not a very good experience, but hey, I did not need their services after all. Less
