Question re: Temp Agencies

I've been looking for a retail sales position for months now with no offers. Working in retail is my career goal. MY DH wants me keep looking in retail, but at the same time contact temp agencies for help finding work to keep myself busy and bring in some $$. 

I have 17 years of executive assistant experience but I'd hate to do secretarial tasks.  That work made me miserable.  I hated being chained to a desk staring at a PC and answering a phone all day.  But I am willing to do some kind of administrative or customer service work.  Will a temp agency be able or willing to help me find this job like this?

Re: Question re: Temp Agencies

  • They should be able to. If you want something very specific, you may have to wait a while until they find what you are looking for specifically, but as long as you're willing to wait, you'll probably be able to find something.
  • Yes, I think admin jobs are probably about the easiest job to get with a temp agency...at least with most of the ones I dealt with anyway.  As far as customer service, that shouldn't be hard either because a lot of call centers hire people through temp agencies.
  • Thank you for your support!
