I graduated in December '06 with a BT-EE degree from Buffalo State. If anyone currently has a job in the field or knows if anyone local is hiring, i’d appreciate a point in the right direction. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance. ---

[quote=“13005TEDGP,post:3,topic:27171"”] Word of advice…stay FAR FAR way from pimp…er I mean “temp.” services/~imployment agency…they are the scum of the earth. [/quote] Thats funny, most major corporations hire a ton of people that started by working as a temp in their company. Citi, and hsbc are two right off the top of my head. Sure if your temping at bobs tv/vcr repair store then your fucked, but if your offered a temp job at a big corporation I would take a good look at it. ---

From dealing with “temp” services for a good 10yrs now on and off. Barely any of them have “temp to perm” positions. I’d say a quarter of them are actually aimed at actually getting you hired. Most want u to fill a spot for 6mo. or so then call u and tell u theat they dont need u anymore and they got another job for u for $8hr. I’ve had technician jobs that were “temp to perm” worked there for a year and a half just to be called and told I wasnt needed now. So, I worked 1.5yrs with no health benefit, shit pay…just to be canned and then told they have NO jobs for me right now… ---

That sucks… guess you need to do your homework before you use a temp agency. Sounds like some of them are not working for your best interest.
