    I would say you've missed the boat now and theres a million and one other people in your situation who had their name up for jobs like this a long time back....

    .... best place to look would be the adverts at the job centre i reckon. They have a website with them on aswell.

    ..... Just a thought, i know when i tried the whole agency "thing" when i finished university it was just a total joke.

    Might help maybe.

    im in the same position, handed cvs in to loads of agencies- and none of them ever get back to me

    plus the two im registered with are useless as well

    its getting very frustrating:(

    woh woh woh... don't be dissing labrynth, it rocks!

    temping - i don't know if there is one up there but brook st are good agencies, well the one in leeds is, they treat you really well an are always saying if you don't like it there we can find you somewhere else an stuff like that... always go back to them when i'm home for the summer...

    plus the woman who usually deals with me is fit :drool: :up:

    Ive been with all different agencies since i moved up the northeast and i found that Brook street, NRG and especially Select r the best - im with select at the mo have been since b4 christmas and have never had any bother as yet - and they have always kept in contact with any info on other jobs i mite b interested in (as im only temp at the mo, but dont wanna leave as i love it!)
    hope that helps:D
