Introduction & a Question

Hi Ladies!

I'm Jenn.  I just got married approximately one month ago, so I'm breaking my addiction to The Knot and making the move over here!  Hubby and I are fairly new to Portland.  We moved here about 6 months ago from South Florida for hubby's job.     

 Aside from introducing myself I wanted to ask if any of you had recommendations for temp agencies in Portland.  I haven't worked since we moved here, but now that the wedding & honeymoon are over, I really want to get back out there.  I'd like to try temping, but there are so many temp agencies out there, I don't really know where to start.  Do any of you have any recommendations? 

 Thanks a lot ladies & it's nice to meet you all!!!

Re: Introduction & a Question

  • Hey Jenn, I am Jenn as well! Smile

    What type of work are you looking to do? Most of the agencies (including the one I work for) fill specific field niches.

    For clerical I would try Volt though. I am taking a guess that's what you're lookin for. (I do not work for them... but I know they stay consistently busy). Also, almost all the agencies in this area post positions on craigslist.

    Good luck and welcome!

     

     

  • Hi Jenn!  Thanks so much for the info.  Yes, I am looking for clerical work.  Before moving here, I worked in local TV news for almost a decade, but have been wanting to get out of the industry for a long time.  This move was the perfect excuse to make a clean break!  I'm not exactly sure what I want to do now for work, so I figured doing some temping work for the time being would be good for me & help broaden my horizons beyond the media world. 

     Thanks again for the info and for the welcome message!  I'll check with Volt!!! 

  • Hi Jenn - I'm Jeni! I don't have any advice on temping, but Congrats and welcome!
