Anyone have success with temp agencies? How do they work? Every one I've sent my resume to doesn't reach back out. I've even applied to job postings on Indeed by a temp agency and they decline every single time. I'm told a lot to look at temp agencies for work, but what do they actually do?

I actually got a really stellar job through a temp agency. Although, not all temp agencies are the same. This is a big deal. It's best not to use one that is not located in your state. I feel like they are just mining data from everyone. Look for local temp agencies who post the kind of work you're looking for. Look at their Google reviews. Send your resume to them through their website and reach out to one of their local recruiters on LinkedIn. Let the recruiter know you are interested in ABC work, attach your resume, let them know you also submitted through their site and I'll bet you get a response. If not a couple of jobs to be considered for.

I have had several really great placements when working with temp agencies. I have never been hired on full-time from a temp job so I don’t know if you say I’m a successful temp, but I’ve had some great placements and it’s definitely helped me find work when the job market is not so great so I recommend looking into a temp agency if you need to find a job.

Additional Posts in Administrative Assistants
