| The best think to do is to sign up with as many as possible. I have always got jobs through agencies but do find that some you never hear of again where as others really work hard and keep in touch with you. The worst ones are normally the big ones Adecco/Alfread Marks are crap. Normall independent ones are best. Although if you have an Office Angels near you try them I found them really good before, plus every Friday they brought me in a packed lunch! | | | | Status: Offline

| I tried office angels about a couple of years ago and the computer crashed on me and I failed the test which werent my fault. So I aint to sure about trying them again. My friend told me about Manpower they are suppose to be one of the best agencies around here and I have sent them my cv and never heard anything back off them. | | | | Status: Offline

| I used manpower before and they were crap, they tend to specialise in factory or labouring jobs and not a lot else. | | | | Status: Offline
