Success

At this inflection point, Frank considered law school while answering phones for the Latin American division of Travelers Insurance. Subsequently, he temped as an illustrator for a big ad agency, where he learned early versions of Flash and code-based animation. They’d misheard his birth name as José. No problem.

JH recently wrote me and asked the following question, "With so many temp agencies out there, I don't know which is/isn't good. I was wondering if you could give me the name of the temp agency you worked with. The best strategy is to sign up with every single temp agency in town. Thanks so much in advance!"

1) Do try the temp agencies. When on a temp job, work as if you are on probation all the time. Don't text or be on a cell phone while in the waiting room. When you go for an interview you have to keep in mind that they really do want to hire someone, but you have to make it worth their while to hire you.

I temped here and there for a year. Finally, I got a job interview through the temp agency for a one-year contract. I finally got a phone call to say they wanted to hire me and could I start in a few weeks? I had worked for a lawyer while living in Northern Alberta and knew I didn’t want to do that again.
Practically Perfect PA

This quickly led into a change of career and I became a recruitment consultant working for high street agencies. A move to London happened around 1996 and my first role as a PA for the Director of Human Resources for a recruitment agency. A fabulous role which I loved. I joined NHS Wales in 2005 and have been here ever since.

After only 2 weeks, I found a great company through a staffing agency and the position was full time working for a wonderful CEO. The staffing agent asked if I was open to temp to perm, even though the position was for a full time EA, he feels the CEO may need time to see if it is a good fit. How long do you think is fair?
