I walked into Agency B and spent about two hours taking idiot tests. This idiot agency had actually called me to come in and register. After taking the stupid tests for word processors this person comes out and tells me that my math scores were a little low. This person looked a tad surprised when I told her that I had an engineering degree. I was invited to take the tests again. Yea right, if you had any fucking work I wouldnt be taking any fucking tests; so like go fuck yourself.
I walked into Agency A and I take the tests that are generally standard at most temp agencies. While Im talking to the temp counselor, a call comes in and the counselor turns to me and asks me if I can work THAT NIGHT. When I say yes, the counselor talks on the phone a little bit then she turns to me again and asks Do you have a problem with temp to perm? I say no. I take the assignment, great money, great long term job.
The above is what you will likely experience if you decide to temp in NYC. You can sit in some idiot attitude agencys office and watch them masturbate or you can go to agencies that actually have work. The agencies that are making tons of money dont give a shit how you look, what race you are or even if you are qualified. The agencies making no money are the ones bragging about what investment banks they have; every agency in NYC is sending people to the same handful of investment banks.
