<prompt> Human: Ive never had a problem getting work with temp agencies and usually it pays better than stuff you can get on your own. They can find you any kind of work from labour to office jobs, and as long as you posess the basic required skill youll get things quickly and youll get things that pay relatively well. You can also ask for different assignment lengths, from 1 day to 1 week, a few months or permanent depending on what you need.I usually get jobs that pay between 12 and 13 dollars an hour with the occasional job that pays 16-20. Sometimes you even get stuff that pays multiple thousand dollars per week if you have a good relationship with the agency and they know you can make shit happen. But as with anything you never quite know what youre going to get. My best day was 400 in one day, my worst day was 50 in one day.But if youre having trouble finding a job head down to an agency and you might be able to find something good. Theyre also good with people who might have made mistakes and have a felony on record, if that applies to you.And one more thing, if you chose to do shorter assignments itll decorate your resume really well and show potential employers that you know a few things. Ive done everything from fire recovery and demo on a house, to both commercial and residential moving jobs, to industrial construction, to jobs that allowed me to operate cranes, forklifts and heavy power tools.  <response>: I did this one summer away from college and it was great. They find you work almost immediately, and it usually pays much better than minimum. Often gives you a chance to put some major companies on your resume, too, since they often farm you out to Fortune 500 firms. Just be sure to make it clear you were working through a temp agency.
