Comments:
I must say that when I lost my job, the world of temping became an unfortunate reality to me. As I registered with several different agencies, I found that the rat race and negative energy to be a bit overwhelming.
However, I did not see this at The Supporting Cast. They were welcoming and actually took the time to learn more about me. I have been working with them and they always get me out!
They have direct deposit and I get paid on Wednesdays instead of Thursday.
Thanks to them, I am working in a "recession".
