Ok have a resume /appilcation question

Posted by eag (aka eag) Jul 23 '10, 12:05

I worked for a temp agency for like 3 months doing seasonal work for a company. On a resume or application is it best to put the temp agency or the company I was assigned too. Ive been going back and forth on this. I even put like a slash between the temp agency and assignment.

Thanks guys and have another question - eag Jul 23, 12:20 4
- That was the job you had a year or two ago, IIRC right? Nah, don't even put it. -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:23 1
  - YEh a year ago -- nm - eag Jul 23, 12:24
- yeah, I would skip it. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 12:22 1
  - yup -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:39
For a long term temp assignment, I'd definitely put the company assigned to, and just put "contract basis" or "temp basis" after that -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:11 2
- i'd put "via (agency name". and i'd hope they didn't have the word 'temp' or 'temporary' in the name. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 12:12 1
  - That's how I have it. -- nm - lileve Jul 23, 12:12
Both. -- (link) - mara Jul 23, 12:08 2
- that's what I did. xx agency, with assignment(s) at... -- nm - b. Jul 23, 12:37 1
  - oh, and that advice came from and/or was reinforced by pro placement folks. -- nm - b. Jul 23, 12:40
i think we had a long thread about this for kelly a ways back. my vote is the company assigned, not the temp agency. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 12:07 12
- yes we did - I think it was decided that I should put "company name - temporary assignment through temp agency". -- nm - kelly Jul 23, 12:37 1
  - (the temp agency is technically the employer.) -- nm - kelly Jul 23, 12:37
- Personally, I don't think it's about the where, it's the what that's more important. - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:09 9
  - but if they want to call for a reference, they really should contact the temp agency -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 12:10 8
    - If they call your employer, they're looking for verification. That's very different from references. -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:34 2
      - sure, but again, being as the temp agency paid you, that's who should confirm that. if you know what i mean. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 12:37 1
        
        I don't want to mislead people. I think we're taking the word "reference" to mean two different things?... -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:42
    - Well, I put my manager at Chase as my reference. I never worked with the temp agency people, really. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:12 2
      - you were there a long time, right? i think a lot depends on that. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 12:38 1
        
        Well, yes. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:51
    - Thats actually what I was kinda getting at ,like which phn# do I put -- nm - eag Jul 23, 12:12 1
      - The one who will give you the best reference. :) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:12
"Ajilon, LLC on contract with JP Morgan Chase" is how I have it on mine. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 12:06 1
- this is what I would suggest as well -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 23, 12:08
