hey i saw your reply on a post abt entry level jobs that arent retail suggesting data entry via a temp agency - were you able to do this successfully and if so, how did you find a temp agency? ive been trying to find an entry point to data entry specifically & havent had any idea where to start. sorry if this is weird/out of the blue

Hey! No worries!

I am self employed and have not worked through temp agencies but I have a few friends who have gotten permanent jobs through them. I'm in Canada so things might be different where you are but I have heard good things about Adecco (they also operate in the US)

The advice about temp agencies came from this tiktok and I've found it to be broadly true.

In 2024 I think staffing/temp agencies are just incentivized to have people register and do a w2 and activate their pay card and not actually place people in jobs, or maybe it's just my industries (admin, av tech) ? But based on the broken applications and websites and sorry but piss poor responsiveness and complete lack of actual job or even day gig placements, yeah I feel like a number somehow and most people I know of who use these agencies today report being given maybe one job and never contacted again.

My current story is I was "hired" in the office, w2, got my pay card, watched training videos that were not even industry specific, got my packet of rules and contact info, was told by my interviewer that in a couple weeks I would be informed of available shifts by phone because they are not listed as openings on the website.

Cut to six months later. I get a message asking if I'm still interested, I say yes and that I can potentially be available any time with notice. This is because I have other jobs now, but I still am desperate for av tech experience because it is basically impossible to get work without having a recent and well defined work history and anyone struggling to find work knows where I'm going with this. I'm asked about a specific date next week on which I'm normally working. Quickly I ask my boss if I can be absent that day, and she says yes. I reply that I'm available.

Over the next few hours and days they ask me if I'm available on other dates with less than a week of notice, and maybe if I was informed of the shifts at the same time I could ask for them off but I'm not going to send my boss five different time off requests less than a week away so I have to turn down three of the five shifts.

The day before my first shift, I'm pretty sick and I go to the hospital. I let them know that morning what's going on and say I will not be there. I get no response until 7 pm the next day, saying that if I'm late for my next shift I will be cut.

A few days later, the day before my next shift (today) , I let them know I will be there. The rules packet says I will only be allowed to use a specific entrance into the building, so I asked which entrance that is. I got no response. I asked if I've been cut, no response. This evening, I am thinking they found someone to replace me because I had been sick. Maybe that decision was also influenced by my questions about whether it would be okay to use a necessary breathing device during the 12 hour shift, which was a limitation I didn't have six months ago when I had been "hired". I'm annoyed to have missed out on the opportunity, but I was able to take a shift for tomorrow at my other job at short notice so at least I'm still working, just working for less and not getting the experience which to be honest was a lot more important to me, not that money isn't 💸

Anyway it's just making me wonder how normal this is and like wonder if any of these agencies is even worth the time it takes to register or if it's just my industries being hyper competitive, or just the economy.

Hi everyone. I have had myself one hell of a December and am going to be in the red when January hits. Between first catching covid and then busting my motorcycle on some black ice, I've had to pay out for parts and repairs while also missing entirely too much work. I will have less hours in the next two weeks thanks to the holidays, and my job will be slashing overtime, so I will not be where I need to be by the new year.

I need to make rent for January at the very least. I can push other stuff around and probably make it work but rent is the most important thing. I will have 1 more paycheck between now and then, but I'm sure it won't be enough. I am asking for help to raise $325 - this is one half of what I will need. I know it's been an incredibly tough year for everyone and I am sorry to be in this position. There is absolutely no pressure to donate - I am grateful for just a reblog. I will be refreshing this post regularly so if you do not want to see it please block the tag "hyenadonations"

my paypal is: paypal.me/haleykaleidorider

$61/325

[Updated amount]

#I'm really sorry #I will be visiting the temp agencies maybe I can grab some holiday work on the weekends #that way i can at least have something more coming in the first week of january #don't worry I wasn't badly hurt when I hit the black ice #just some bruising on my knees but my bike is a bit mangled #so i will be relying on the bus for a while ugh #hyenadonations #hyena chatter

Me: Hi jobsite I am a disabled woman looking for a receptionist or administrative job in the medical field, preferably without much physical exertion required. Because I am disabled

Job site: Oh ho ho I have some jobs for you! Here

Me: Okay well. That first one is insurance sales. That has nothing to do with what I asked for, and i don't have the required license. And the prep cook job is impossible for me because of my mobility issues. And the last one -

Me: The fucking Salvation Army?? The ones who leave queer people like me to die in the cold because we're an affront to God!??! Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME

#job hunting #this shit is so spul crushing i stg #what do any of these have to do with being a medical receptionist #how does my medical support services training relate to any of these #and this is just a small sample. there are dozens. dozens that have nothing to do with my career goals #or the reality of my disability #and they just keep sending me emails acting like they're handing me gold #such bullshit #mod post #salvation army #fuck 'em #edit: i did apply to a generic receptionist posting with a temp agency so. fingers crossed on that

[gideonisms]

why is this company so sketchy they are firing all the people who started around the same time as me without warning hgjgjbn

#it seems like they're allergic to having any kind of conversation about performance issues #i guess i'd better start applying other places my temp status is almost up #why wouldn't they just wait until these people's temp status ends and say they're not looking for permanent employees at the moment? #like why get them in trouble with their temp agency too instead of dealing with them for another 2 weeks #it just seems malicious

[chaoticbooklesbian]

I suggest this to people individually regularly enough that I need to make a post about it:

If you need a job, and you hate the "finding things to apply for" part of job searching, and you feel like you've hit a dead end, do yourself a favor and look into temp agencies. Some are industry-specific, some are function-specific, and some are these-companies-need-warm-bodies-specific, but in general, they're pretty similar functionally.

There's two ways (usually) that a temp agency can get you work. One is traditional temping, where you're an employee of the temp agency and work fixed term assignments at various companies and move around from assignment to assignment. The other is temp-to-hire, where you start out like the first way, but at the end of the fixed term, the company you're doing work for decides whether or not they want to hire you. (There can also be direct hire postings, where the company just...hires you right away, facilitated by the temp agency, but that's less common than the first two.)

And the most important part here is that YOU ARE NOT THE ONE PAYING THE TEMP AGENCY FOR SERVICES. The companies looking for workers are the ones paying the temp agencies, NOT THE WORKERS. If you find a temp agency trying to charge you for finding you placements, THAT IS A SCAM AND YOU SHOULD RUN AWAY SCREAMING.

Point is: Job searching sucks. Temp agencies can make it suck less.

#pedanticblah #i got my current job via temp agency #on the temp to hire track #and like. it took out the worst part of job searching #the agency would call me up #and be like 'we have these five postings you'd be suited for' #and i'd say 'ok! send them my resume' #and then however long later they'd call me again #and say 'this company is interested in interviewing you on one of these days' #and i'd go 'ok! i'm available at x time on y day' #and then the interview would just. happen! #and after the agency would call again #and be like 'so how did it go? also here are three more postings'

anyways, i love being unemployed. it’s me, the quintessential millennial who doesn’t want to work anymore.

Is there like 'become a human being' intensive career therapy or smth like that or is that something Ronald Raegan un-invented

#like the idea that you're put into a dorm-ish setting and taught standard life skills that schools and parents stopped teaching a decade ago #and gives you a job or put into a temp agency program or smth #I want and need a job so bad but I have no fucking clue how to navigate life since I wasn't let to most of the time #if this does exist there's a zero % chance it exists in the US because it haaaates people learning how to live #just so tired and lost and always thinking back to like.. #6th grade reading teacher fucking hated me and tried to push me to get a work-program thru school instead of staying in school #that would've been so much more valuable to me than 'stay in college get high pay job have our grandkids!!!!' vague plan set tor me #i'm losing it gamers I just want to feel okay again #vent but also cry for actual help

as someone with a Relatively Low Stress Office Job™️, do you agree with doubleca5t's recent advice on how to find one and/or is there anything else you would like to add? sorry if you've posted about this topic before and i missed it

i have that video queued! i think for most people a temp agency is the way to go, the only reason i didn't is that i live in the frozen swamp woods and i couldn't find any

#original #if you are one of the vast majority of people to live in a more populated area #temp agencies are great #literally the only reason i didn't was the lack of them
