In response to "I really don't think there's any way around that. The agency is my employer. -- nm" by kelly

Then the dates you were "with" the temp company don't matter at all. All that matters is when you were working.

Those dates matter far more than your "the temp company had my resume" dates.

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
