getting started
When applying at a temporary staffing agency, you will be asked to complete an application, take some assessment skills tests as well as a drug screen. Be sure to arrive prepared to complete an application completely, including references. It is also important that you keep appearance in mind when applying at a temporary staffing agency. Applying at a temporary staffing agency is similar to a job interview situation.
