1. Nobody likes looking for a job. It can be really hard. It takes a lot
of time (that you are not getting paid for) and it’s frustrating to
keep hearing nothing or getting rejected. It’s an extremely
competitive job market in places like San Antonio and Austin, and
it’s almost a full-time job in itself. If can take many months of
searching to find a permanent job, but your bills will not be taking
that time off.

3. What are the Benefits of Working with a Temporary Staffing Agency?
The bottom line is that a temp agency can make it a lot easier to find a job and
earn that income you need. They have recruiters on staff who will do much of the
time-consuming legwork for you. This includes searching out openings and
contacting the hiring managers. They can help you with your resume, and even
interview skills. There are also employment opportunities that are only available
through temp agencies, and you will have access to those. Temp work will also help
you earn an income, so you can keep up with bills while you are finding an office
job, if that is your final goal.

4. What Rights Do Temp Workers Have?
Temp workers have all the rights and protections that any full time
or permanent employees have. The Employment Standards Act
guarantees this. You will get at least minimum wage, have a right
for holiday pay, and breaks, and all the other rights that other
workers have.

5. Does the Agency Take Money Off of My Check?
This is usually the cause of most people’s hesitation with using a
temporary employment agency. The answer is no, a staffing agency will
not deduct money from you, nor will they ask you for money up front for
their services. If they do, then you need to run far away from that agency
because they are not reputable. A temporary employment agency gets
paid from the employer, not the employee. The employer pays because
they want the agency to find them good workers. You are the commodity
that the agency sells to the employer, so you do not pay for anything.

6. How Long Do Placements Last?
Placements last as long as the client needs staffing for the
position you have been placed in. This could be as little as a day,
or even an afternoon in some cases. It may also last several
months or more. In most cases, a placement lasts between 1-3
months. If you are working on finding an office job and do not
want to be tied down for too long at any one place, you can ask
to only be placed on shorter-term placements, if you wish.
