[quote=Anonymous]Former Dc area temporary agency recruiter here.

Where are you?  I ask because you'll need to find a firm that specializes in the type of position you want.  Some will recruit temps for light industrial jobs, others will hire long term admin. assistants mostly.  Start with an agency closest to home as possible.  Generally, the agency will have a geographical service area that is fairly nearby the home office.

I can't imagine that there are any firms out there still asking for a placement fee, but beware; never pay any up front costs.  Agencies get paid via the employer.

If you can, interview with several temp agencies.  You'll likely get more jobs from one and then can consistently work with that group.

The more flexible you can be, the better.  If offered a one-day job immediately, take it.  You are more likely to get called after you've already taken a assignment, rather than waiting or turning down an assignment.  If you consistently turn down jobs, I'm less apt to call you.  Great way to build your work history within the agency and I'm better able to recommend you to other employers.
