AppleOne: Not the Best Temp Agency
After almost a year of post-college job searching, I decided to try a temp agency. Even though I have a degree, four years experience in food and retail, two years experience as a supervisor, and some office/administrative experience, it seems I can't find an entry level office job to
save my life. So why not let an agency do it for me?
I selected AppleOne, because they staff the types of jobs I've been looking for and they do temporary and permanent placements. I don't know anyone who's ever tried working through any agencies near me, but word of mouth advice would have been very helpful. If I had heard how ineffective this agency is, I wouldn't have wasted my time.
I interviewed with AppleOne five weeks ago. They have two different versions of my resume, both are current and detailed. I've also done some typing tests, and 45 wpm seems to be good enough for most jobs. Aside from that, nothing has come of my partnership with AppleOne.
I did not expect them to find me a job right away, but after five weeks they have not even landed me an interview anywhere. Despite the fact the representative I've been working with says he sends my resume out each week, and that I'll take temp or permanent placement, I have to wonder how effective AppleOne really is. When you job hunt on your own, you usually get an interview within a five week period if you are aggressive. How aggressively is AppleOne representing me?
Now, if you've enrolled with AppleOne, do not expect your representative to answer your questions. I've asked several, and each time was given an answer that contained such circular logic you can hardly understand it, and the answer doesn't even begin to address the question at hand.
