The Staffing Agency Sugar Rush
For anyone who has been stuck in a boring job for a few years with minimal signs of escaping to something better, every so often you might receive a ray of sweet sunshine… it is the light of the staffing agency. It begins with a simple e-mail— “We saw your resume online and wanted to know more”— and the sugar is immediately in your veins.
You emphatically close the sports news window, and reply with your freshly polished resume, plentiful enthusiasm, and of course your job and salary reqs. Then you dance around your room with hope, and wait for the reply that Mr. Staffing has something exactly as you dreamed your dream job would be.
Shortly, you find his reply stating how he’s got two jobs, a freelance position and one in Stamford, CT. And then the sugar rush ends. Which only goes to show that if a staffing agency comes looking for you, then he’s got some shit jobs that he cannot fill, thus killing his monthly commission.
Good jobs don’t land in your lap. You gotta go out and find them. Start looking.

ROFL – You hit the nail on the head! Staffing agencies are b.s. You have a better chance finding $100 in the 4 train during rush hour than getting place by an agency!
I love how they sugar you up and then send you to a job that has a bigger turnover rate than fast food. They just want their commission for bringing you in. Don’t even bother trying to get help from them after you have been placed. They just say…would you like me to find you another more depressing place for you to work at!$$$
