Comments:
I had just moved to NJ for school, but it didn't start for another 2 1/2 months. A friend recomended Madamoiselle. When i got there, people (receptionist, other counsler)were very friendly. Did not wait long to talk to Jessica, one of the counsler, who gave me all the typical test. After that she told me there was a position at Calvin Klein as a receptionist, told me was very busy, high pace evironment. But it was not, i worked in the womens collection, and there was, at most 5 calls a day..very slow, all i did was sat there and read magazine, and do homework, which was not bad. The other 2 assingment was the same. My counsler was very good. Found assignment within hours of me calling her. There haven't been a day w/o work if i call her the day before i want to work. This agency is very good for college students, since alot of the jobs are not so long with lots of free time.
