Then the dates you were "with" the temp company don't matter at all. All that matters is when you were working. - TFox Nov 24, 08:35 12
- Remember, the difference right now between when I was working and how long I've been "with" the agency is what, 4 days? - kelly Nov 24, 08:39 4
  - balance that with listing "2008-current" and then explaining in an interview that you actually aren't working at the moment. just as a consideration. -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 08:42
  - as far as dates go, I would list the dates of your assignments only - znufrii Nov 24, 08:42
  - You are still with the temp agency. Ignore TFox, he is wrong about this. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 08:40 1
    - hee! (never.) -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 08:41
- Then she'll get asked what she was doing during those times. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 08:36 6
  - "sitting with my thumb in my ass waiting for a new placement from the temp company". -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 08:38 5
    - which is why she has to list the temp agency. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 08:39 4
      - we're semanticing (surprise). me personally, I wouldn't list it up top with the jobs as sub bullets. - TFox Nov 24, 08:41 3
        
        you have to. THey're the ones with your employment records. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 08:41 2
        
        you "have" to. i call shenanigans. if it says who the temp company is on the resume, they can find your records (if they even check). - TFox Nov 24, 08:43 1
        
        you're wrong TFox. -- nm - Jim Nov 24, 08:45
