You do not know what a Temporary Service is? Another name is a Temp Service. Many more companies are now using Temp services to get workers. This way the company does not have to worry about providing any kind of perks to the worker. ie vacation, health Ins., overtime pay and the like. |

Another type of job is working for a courier service. Not glamorous and does not pay well, but it is a job. Presently that is what I am doing. I am contracted to an Auto parts store. I deliver parts to various garages. I drive my own car and pay for the gas. |

Being a waiter is a really good idea. Go home with cash everyday. |

Sorry, I dont read all your posts. The few I do made me come to the conclusion. When he said temp service he is referring to kelly services, Randstaff, Manpower, Labor Ready and Spherion. I tried all of those places but the pay was lower than my expectations 7an hour a few years ago and most required 12 hour shifts. Just keep applying and mix it up. Spend 4 hours online one day applying, 4 hours another faxing your resume another, driving looking for help wanted signs the other. |

I worked temp agencies for years. It does not hurt to apply to 3-4 at the same time. Chat with the interviewer, they like to know you are reliable and may send you on so-so assignments to test your willingness to be a "team" player before they give you a real job. Call them at least once a week and let them know that you are available. If you get a job call and inform them, they like that. I had a drafting resume (high school with references) and no experience. Took a few 1-2 month jobs before getting a temp-to-perm job. I'd be doing it now if I lived some place habitable.

Just remember CB, fast / efficient / friendly works when serving the public. Think back over all the times you ate out and what you hated about the waiters YOU had, then don't do what they did
