JH recently wrote me and asked the following question, "With so many temp agencies out there, I don't know which is/isn't good. I was wondering if you could give me the name of the temp agency you worked with. The best strategy is to sign up with every single temp agency in town. Thanks so much in advance!"

While your ultimate goal is FT job in admin, the only thing that will get you there is recent experience in admin - the good ol' fashioned catch-22. Through volunteering, you can network and keep your pulse on the industry of your choosing.

The goal is to be well-rounded in all aspects. I mention how I worked for all my CEOs because I was recruited away as a temp. I wasn’t there to say hello, get in “good” with the higher ups, network, or gawk at any famous people that might have been there. My goal as temp was to be asked back as a temp repeatedly - that’s it.
