In case you were wondering...

Guess what I just figured out, that I thought I would share with you. (The ones who are actually reading this blog that is).

When you are looking for a new steady job while you are temping, even though you have been working at the particular company for months, even years, you may NOT list your "supervisor" that you work for at that company as a reference.

This is because legally you don't work for the company where you have been contracted for! You are still legally employed by the agency!

Oh yes, and another thing. I'm getting really tired of all these other agencies telling me that they have a great position available and would I be willing to come in for an interview. Do they think that I am that naive? Hello? Have you seen the job market out there? It isn't pretty. Yet, there are still jobs, and the ones that are out there, are hard to find. They go with the best candidate.

The recruiters from agencies don't care. You are just a number to them. Don't let them just sly you. Do your homework first!

Just don't tell them the temp told you so.

Thanks.
