so i googled and found some in my area, but i have a few questions i couldnt find an answer for......after you go see a temp agency and turn in the app or whatever...usually how long does it take to actually be somewhere working? a day? week?
Also I assume they drug test?
Well,
Keep n mind, most temp agency's are basically job pools.
That is, if an employer needs somebody ASAP and not nessecerily a permanent position, that is when they appraoch the temp agency.
How long it takes is very dependent on your skill-set matching up with what one of their employers needs.
As far as the drug testing, I also think it really depends on the job opening.
anlgpNew Memberi can tell you a bit more than i did about temp agencies when you originally asked me.
temp agencies have all sorts of jobs available. you basically fill out a sheet and describe what kind of work you're looking for and how far you're willing to travel.
sometimes the jobs don't last long. sometimes the jobs last half a year. sometimes longer. and sometimes they even turn into a long term job for you.
as far as how long it takes you to get work it all depends.
drug test, i'd lay off just like i would if i were using before looking for any kind of work.
better to go without the substances for a bit and get a job then continued substance use and not get a job.
also, the temp agency will take a portion of your pay, but it's not too much. any $ is better than no $.
good luck.
"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl
