Desperately Seeking Temps
by Tempcity
a Relationship LLC ฎ Outfit
STATE OF THE MARKET: There is always temp work, it is just a matter of finding out what agency has it. Right now, legal remains strong along with help desk and network administration (especially at law firms). The outsourcers like Pitney Bowes and Bowne are always looking for people.
MORPH OF THE WEEK: (SAME AS LAST WEEK). If you want to get temp work right now, you will need to morph into an experienced law firm wp operator. You will need to have a resume that has a lot of law firm word processing center experience on it and you will need to be able to pass the law firms tests for word processors. Mostly, the law firms have tests that require that you know automatic table of contents, automatic tables of authorities and automatic numbering. Law firms use Delataview and Comparerite to compare one version of a document to another and almost every law firms has a document management system like Docs Open. Historically, not a lot of law firms have used Excel and Powerpoint, but that is changing now. Having Excel and Powerpoint on your resume will help because most of the law firms existing staff probably dont know these packages. I have not seen a strong demand for EGAR people, but there are law firms that have an EGAR staff
ONE STOP NEWS: If you cant find work, register for unemployment. If you dont register for unemployment, you wont qualify for the free training available through the new One-Stop Program. In NYC, most of the training is through The Consortium for Woker Educations WCC, \topurl{http://www.cwe.org,http://www.cwe.org}. The division of the WCC that handles placement for displaced professionals is PROS, \topurl{http://www.pros.cc,http://www.pros.cc}
