I temped here and there for a year. Finally, I got a job interview through the temp agency for a one-year contract.

You are welcome!

First, what you have been up to recently that is exciting, fun or new, why and what sort of job you are looking for, and your contact information and an online link to your resume or a social media profile (more on this later).

DECEMBER 18, 2013

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. I have no idea how long "temp" is considered before they would offer the permanent position. It feels like a bait and switch and there are no guarantees.
