Temp Agency

Job searching sucks. I know the best way to find a job is through connections, but that's really hard to do. Especially when I don't know exactly what type of job I want (since I loved my most recent job and I don't think I can find another job like that one) and it also requires talking to people about my situation.

About a month ago, I decided I needed to change the way I was looking for a job and ended up signing up for a temp agency. I knew it was something I should do to at least have some money coming in even if it was only for a day or two job. 

There were a lot of things holding me back from applying for a temp agency earlier.  I was stuck, I was scared, I was insecure. I still struggle with all of those things but I finally got a little bit of courage and applied for a job through a temp agency. It was scary, but I did it.

I had a phone interview with one of the recruiters and at the end of the call she asked if I'd like to do a one day job the next day answering phones and greeting visitors in an office. I said yes but I was super stressed the rest of the day and didn't sleep very well that night in anticipation of the job. I was trying not to panic on my way to the office the next morning. But you know what, it ended up being okay. 

The next week I got a call from my recruiter saying that that same company would like me back for three days. And then later the next two weeks. I just finished my second full week at the temp job. I'll be there next week too and then we'll see what happens after that. It's been a learning and growing experience and I'm glad that I finally got a little courage and signed up for the temp agency.

I have no idea if anything will come from my employment with the temp agency but at least I'm gaining some experience and I have some money coming in for now.

 

So this post isn't all just words, here's a pretty picture on one of my favorite trails!
