Comments: I moved to NYC from Minneapolis where I had worked with ADIA a lot. It took them a couple of weeks but they got me a one week job with a software sales office and then they found me a job ($18/hr! wooo!) with a management consultin firm (The Firm) which they had just signed a huge contract on. The agency is pretty good if you get the right counselor. The one I had, Joseph, was really good, but some of the others seemed just awful.
