I have been working in the technical support field for a year, never had any training. I started this job through a temporary service, current job said we are going to hire 20 of the temps that they kept over the summer. They hired 4, I love my job but no benefits. I have an interview to be a school bus driver which is less money but has benefits. I know I will get the job but it's going to suck making $3.00 less. Maybe I should stay as a temporary employee I don't know what to do.

Okay so I got hired by AAA Companies (AAA = Anytime, Anywhere, Anything) This company basically either does construction, maintenance, or contracts out to vendors for work that needs to be done. I was given the job of AP/Data Entry Clerk. This company did a direct temp hire, meaning my working relationship with this company was temporary (pending background check and evaluation of my work done while there) I had found the job on zip recruiter. Being in an "At will work state (California) it was iffy at best if I was going to get to stay. I had been there two and a half weeks, and everyone was super nice, my supervisor was a real nice gal, and my boss seemed like a real nice guy. I was given literally 2 days of training. Day 3 I got told if I didn't put in 50 entries, I was going to be let go. Mind you I had only been there three days. On day 5 I was told that I should be cranking out 120-150 entries a day. Just a bit of a history - The previous girl who worked there, left them with literally 400 emails in that email box, like a month of or so of invoices that needed to get done. - So I get in there and in 2 and 1/2 weeks being there, knocked that inbox down to 60 emails, and those emails were the ones that came in THAT DAY. I thought I was doing great. Next thing I know they canned my ass saying I wasn't fast enough, that it wasn't working out. to add insult to injury, they brought in a temp from a actual temp agency to take over for the supervisor so the supervisor can go on a vacation for three weeks. She has been there a week and still doesn't know how to do everything and I knew how to do everything. They told me that when the sup comes back they are letting that temp go too.

I know this is a normal part of life, but I think that it was a waste of time and resources to bring someone in just to catch up on your work load when your AP clerk literally cannot handle the work load and then cast that person aside, because hey great y'all are caught up. Cause guess what, when you knock it down to that one person again, its going to get out of control and when it does its going to get worse trying to train a second or third person and by the way 2 days of training to do AP work is NOT enough time. The things involved are complex and 2 weeks is NOT enough time to learn a complicated system like CF Structure, FYI the data base CF Structure? Is NOT user friendly and I still had trouble with it.

50 entries a day I can see as a min. But when half our vendors aren't giving us PO sheets, PO numbers or job numbers and then I have to sit there and go through every open PO just to find the one that matches the invoice, which takes 5-10 minutes and we are NOT allowed to call our vendors or call anyone to get that info outside of the office. Even the temp was like, at best 70 entries a day is about all you can get from a person realistically. I was doing on average 50-60 a day and that was just catching up, which also included pulling invoices for the utilities and basic business expense/maintenance and making sure that got paid.

I wasn't being slow either. I was having to spend a good portion of my time trying to get the information I needed to get the invoices entered into the system. When they let me go right when the work was caught up and the gal could take over the duties herself, I honestly felt used. I came in early, I stayed late the entire time getting all that work caught up, just to be let go? It is the worst feeling in the world. At the very lest I should have been given on the other positions that were open in house. At the very lest. It would have been nice to have been rewarded for bending over backwards for a company despite only being there for 2 1/2 weeks.

I was once a temp at this company they hired me and trained me in feb of this year. They hired someone in april to just do one account and scanning as of Wednesday they gave her all my work and pushed me into a new position and new department the boss said she will keep it mind if i dont like this new position i already dont. Should i be worried that everything i learned since i started is now gone and not for my benefit as the manager says its the end piece of the puzzle i could nt even say no like my other colleagues did. I am so confused.i am with the union as well my 90 day probation passed last week.any advise would be helpful

I'm currently working as a temp making 12.00 per hour. Within 6 months maybe 3 or 4 I will be hired on full time. At which time my rate will immediately jump to 22.80 per hour. My hours are midnight-8am

I've also been offered a full time permanent direct hire job as a machine operator. Pay starts at 17.17 per hour with the potential for pay increases. I will have benefits, and all the other perks that go along with being a perm. Employee. The hours are 7am-3pm with possibility of swing shift to 3 pm- 11pm I hate getting up early!

My dilemma is do I stay and stick it out at the temp job and risk losing my car, my apt, and paying my bills whenever I can waiting to get hired or do I take the permanent job. I should mention I'm already on the verge of eviction and 2 car payments past due and my cell got shut off. Everyone is working with me but living on 12.00 an hour is crazy!!

Any and all advice will be taken. Thank you Audrey.

This will be quick. I myself am job searching and getting interviews dressed professional and answering questions correct feeling as if I did an awesome job especially when the employer nods, smile and have looks of amazement on their faces while being interviewed. As we all know the economy is pretty messy and sometimes companies have budget cuts and they can't hire as planned, so they reach out to temp agencies. Why because they do not have to pay benefits, They can keep a temp from a few weeks to a few months when it's over they can wait a few months and pick up a temp again. Way cheaper.

For the last two years, I have only been able to get a few weeks here and there as a paralegal temp, but no steady stable employment. I have a college degree, plus paralegal certificate and 12 yrs experience with 7 yrs with one employer. I have pride in myself and want to be productive, but after two years I do not know what I have to do to get a decent paying job. I have gone on over 200 interviews since 2014, and still am currently managing an average of two interviews weekly.

I moved to Vegas 13 years ago and in the last 8yrs the households which speak Spanish jumped from 16% to now above 40%. Nobody wants to hire a paralegal who is not bilingual in this city, and if they do make me an offer its a joke of less than $16hr.

I can not relocate from Las Vegas. Any suggestions, besides take a Spanish course? I will not learn Spanish just because the legal community here panders to the increasily illegal alien population which has taken over this great city.
