market has been getting worse and worse over the last three months. Employment beenfits are gone and even companies like Proskauer and Weil are not even hiring though would you REALLY want to work with the Pitney Bowes crew if you could avoid it? What a waste of flesh for the most part! But given the current situation is there really an alternative out there anyone?

admin.

I moved most of your (m_sietz) posts here.

We all have been turned away from agencies. We all know that there are agencies that like "certain types" and don't want people who don't fit their ideal. The point of this board is to help people find work. I do not tell anyone not to register with an agency because an agency that may not like me may like others.

The fact that there ARE temp agencies still in business means that there IS work. You just have to keep registering with agencies until you find ones that will give you work.

Pitney Bowes is advertising for people, so they must have work. I don't like Pitney Bowes but their money is legal US tender. Take their money and when you don't need them anymore quit.

Island Consulting
Creative ways to turn people away? How to torpedo an applicant's ability to successfully prepare for an interview? By what standards are these people given a good recommendation -- that they have been able to stay in business where other agencies have gone out of business? Fair enough but so have others and done it with more attention to the applicant than these cow-herders. Sent me to a supervisor interview and did not even research the positon with the company to find out that the company really wanted a high level help desk support person. When I told B*&^% what was what with this interview his response was "Well you should have been prepared for hands on exams and any question that they gave you"

I wanted to literally strangle this guy through the telephone wire as in the old cartoons as it is his job to set up a interview between the company and qualified applicants. Screening to be done on both ends of the meeting set up. If the company wanted a help deks person he should have passed my application over for a Help Desk person not tried to shoehorn a workflow coordinator into the positon simply because of the title!

What a waste of an agency!! Avoid like the plague!

Jovan Temps
Jovan is a BAD agency that never let me even finish my interview with them. I went into the office for work listed as a Powerpoint specialist. I had the indicated years of experience listed, passed their in house exam and then she says she is no longer recruitng additional members for the position. YET she directly let the woman BEHIND me interview for the same position that she just told me that she was no longer interviewing for. Tells you the caliber of people with this agency.

Bon Temps
though Joel the night dispatcher is totally insane. Was good agency but now not really.

If you are an elite secretary then you will get work from this group and you know what I mean by elite -- how to create bluebacks, draft contracts and answers and demurs - yep basically being a paralegal is what is needed here.

Bye the Bye, Heller Ehrman has been advertising for a Secretarial Manager for a long time. I don't understand why it is so hard to find a WP Supervisor/Secretarial Manager.
