Comments:
This agency called enthusiastically called me in. A Miss Christa Cappodonia is the one and only counselor running the temporary force. I talked to her several times on the phone and she told me she had tons of work. I went in and took the battery of tests - better put aside 2 to 2 1/2 hours and she finally called me in. She was very enthusiastic and again remarked how she could use me in many ways.

I've been calling in for weeks now and have been able to get past the receptionist. When Ms. Cappodonia hears my name, I'm told their is no work for me as yet and where can I be reached

I don't know what's going on with this agency. The counselor's made me feel I'd be working in a day .. and now. Although I am very presentable and corporate and have excellent skills (I aced all the tests), I am a black mail. I've found in some of these agencies when a man or someone in their 30's registers with a younger counselor, they don't always fare as well as when they register with a counselor their own age.
