I've been unemployed for almost 5 months now and considering a temp agency since I've been getting no responses at all from all the jobs I've applied to. I've lost count of how many applications and resumes I've sent out at this point, I've never had so much trouble getting hired before and I'm getting pretty nervous about how much longer I can keep afloat. But I've never used a temp agency before, any recommendations or tips how to pick one?

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?
