[quote:Anonymous Coward 43908153:MV8yMzAxMjEwXzM5MTg0MzM1X0VBRkVCRjRB] Are you referring to employment agencies or temporary staffing agencies I don't like employment agencies. They take a % of your 1st salary to cover their services of finding you a job. Then, too, when you do get a job, you're on probation, can lose that job or it just didn't work out for you. And you're still stuck paying that fee Temporary staffing, like Kelly Girls, is a great way to get your foot in the door. Jobs are usually filling in for someone off sick or vacations, but after the term of the job, if I liked the girl I would offer her a full time job. Also, that's a good way to build up some experience for a resume. [/quote]

These are legitimate jobs right?
Only reason why I ask, I went to a staffing agency today for a 'career fair' but I will say what this agency was advertising was a little misleading. They took advantage of their building name (high profile bank) and made it seem as though it was this bank that was having the career fair. But no, it wasn't the bank, it just so happened this staffing agency had a suite in this big downtown bank building.
Anyway, I didn't want to make it a wasted trip. So I filled out paperwork and they said they had a great call center job with a relatively new company. I have an orientation tomorrow, and if that goes well, next will be an interview with the company.
Thing is, they gave me a sheet of paper with the company name/address/what's expected/hours of availability. So I Googled the company and can't find shit on it, I thought maybe an LLC or Facebook page or something for a newer business - but no dice.
This can't be a scam right? It's through a staffing agency.
