Cause you played softball with her when you were in the seventh and eighth grade. Yep, I went for a temp interview because at this point I want SOME money coming, irregardless of it being temp agency money or not.
I do not fault those of us that temp it. In fact most of the jobs that I've had that I really, really liked were found for me through a temp agency. People are generally nice to you and they don't expect you to be a super genius either, because you're a temp. So it's easier to inspire them with just how much of a genius you actually are.
Anyway, lady who interviewed me for a temp job turned out to be girl I used to play softball with. She didn't even ask my name when I walked in the door, just said "how's your family? Oh you had a baby? I have three." We did the quick set up interview, what I'm interested in, what I'm hoping to find etc. etc. Then she let me know that several of the positions I was actually interested in were the ones that had "the most applicants" and I thought "Freaking recession!"
She then started telling me about the last 10 years of her life and included asking me about my cousins and a few of my other family members. And you'd think this in would guarantee me a job... but I suppose in life there are no guarantees.
Which sucks... but we press on.
