On The Job

FEBRUARY 18, 2011

And any spare time you have will be spent throwing in a load of laundry and cleaning up dog puke. It's a move designed to give them flexibility in dealing with the improving market, but it's also a way to keep their costs under control.

The staffing agent asked if I was open to temp to perm, even though the position was for a full time EA, he feels the CEO may need time to see if it is a good fit.
