I am in Florida - to get a job here -- you almost HAVE to go through a temp-to-hire/staffing agency. It's horrible. I have this job by dropping a resume off and they hired me after an interview and THEN sent me to sign up with their staffing agency. I have to be with them for 8 weeks - every employee here had to do the same thing. Prev. employer told me they do this now so they don't have to pay out big ads in the paper and almost every industry is this way. Is it that way where you are? Why can't you just go try to get a job and get hired at that job? You sometimes have to wait a LONG period of time before any benefits kick in this way and your check comes from the agency - not the employer.

I think they're doing it that way because of the internet. Before the internet, companies would post a job and get maybe 200 resume's. Now with the internet, if they post a job, they are receiving as many as 1500 resume's.

Nope. Florida sucks. Does voting booths ring any bells. Thank the Bushes.
