Comments:
Although, it took nearly a year for my first temp assignment, I was not an every day caller until after my first assignment.
However, when I did start calling daily for several months (last fall and spring & this fall), as they told me I should do....I had no jobs.
In all this time, I only had two assignments through them...and two interviews for temp-to-perm. (One of these interviews would have turned into a long-term assignment, except that the agency had trouble getting the necessary paperwork to me.)
