OMG!!! I GOT A JOB!!!!
And what a sweet fricking job it is too! :bounce:

*ahem* Assistant to the Project Manager :wow:


I've been working out of a temp agency while looking for a real job, and this just fell into my lap. :bounce:

I was sent out there to do construction clean up (new store). 2 days of that, and the boss wants to hire me to supervise the work crews, keep the paperwork in order and make sure the contractors are all happy and on time.

I don't even know what the pay is, I'm so happy I don't care! :bounce:

Oh! Happy Day!!




Dance with me!

27. Your performance must have stuck out like a sore thumb
Edited on Fri Jul-21-06 05:44 PM by rocknation
My first job out of college was as a temp. I did a two-week stint at and ad agency. They called me back two weeks later, invited me to stay for the rest of the summer, and promised I'd be the first hired if they won one of three accounts they were after. They won all three accounts!

20. I've gotten my best jobs through temp agencys
and turned down several offers, because they just weren't right for me

Kind of a try-before-you-buy... for the employer and for you.

Good luck!

43. give it a few weeks and I might!
It's crazy enough right now with the contractors trying to work around each other, it's going to get crazier when the inventory starts arriving!

It's going to be fun! (and I mean that) I love watching it all come together, and getting in at this stage... I'm going to learn so much. :)

I was working as a temp at one of the local hospitals in the Materials Management department, and was just hired on permanently. Good pay, good benefits, and UNION!

I'm jazzed about it. Got final verification in the mail yesterday.

Congrats to you as well!
