Re: Temporary Agencies
I agree with Rebecka about their being pros and cons on the situation. I am also always on the lookout for new contacts and I have no doubt that I could make some valuable new contacts regardless of whether I was taken on as an independent contractor or not.
I also disagree with temp agencies not wanting to hire VA's. Alberta has been a consistent leader in having one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, January's rate in Alberta was 3.2% compared to Ontario's 6.3%. You only have to live here for a short period of time to see the extremes that employers are willing to go to find staff, it's pretty insane here. Any temp agency that isn't willing to go that extra mile in order to find staff is going to find themselves out of business in a hurry.
