Oh, was I wrong. First you get drilled by the agency to see if a) you are interested in a temporary position b) talk to you about the qualifications again and then sends you the details.
After that you get a phone call to turn up to an interview with the prospective short term employer who wishes to interview you.
Then you go home, call the agency who appears to me amazed that it was an interview and not a job start. Then you wait for them to call back.
What happened to the good old days where you get a phone call to tell you they have a temp job for you and when & where to turn up  |
I have recently wondered the same thing. Temp jobs used to be front up where the agency tells you. Maybe employers don't trust agencies any more and want to see for themselves.
