Bridge to Employment: Temp Worker lands dream job

While I don't normally post on Tuesdays, I just had to share this article with you from CNN.

Allison Riney, a graduate of the University of Oklahoma, got over her negative perceptions of the staffing industry and once she got her foot in the door, landed her dream job.

Have you ever used a temporary service before? What was your experience like?

  1. Great post! After I graduated college, I was having a hard time finding employment, so a friend suggested I work with a staffing service to gain some more experience. I was reluctant at first because I was looking for a permanent position and didn't see how working temporary jobs would help. However, after working with a staffing service, I was able to see the many positive aspects that came out of this. I gained a lot of great work experience that I was able to put on my resume. Also, the recruiter that I worked with was able to help me with interview techniques and also recommend me to companies that she was working with. In turn, I was able to land a permanent, full-time job that I love. I had a great experience working with a staffing service and would recommend it to anyone else looking for work.
