Default Temp Work

Hey everyone...I have a question that I was wondering if anyone had any insight for...

I am leaving for a trip to europe in about 2.5 months, and have been looking into some temp agencies for work before I go. I'm not sold that it is the best way to go about it, but I have heard both good and bad things about it...

Any ideas as to where to look for work for someone with a university degree in the sciences for 2-2.5 months? I was hoping to work in an office environment as I've done more than my fair share of manual labor, and hopefully in an area that it is intriguing and allows me to glean knowledge from my coworkers or employers.

Has anyone heard of a really good temp recruiting company or something of the sort?

If your in Calgary, call drake International and ask for Samantha, and tell her that Greg recommended her.

Don't know what the call is for office temp at the moment as I left that field about 6 or 8 months ago, but I know that you can get paid better for the labor stuff right now.

Haha, that's amazing, I was going to ask the exact same question, with the exact same details, but then reversed in location of trip. I just finished my Masters and have done my fair share of manual labor, and am looking to do some office temp work for the next few months as I am going to Canada/US end of April.

I dunno what it's like in Calgary/Canada, but I've been looking around and it's pretty sad over here in Holland. I should be happy with anything over minimum wage for temp work. Ridiculous.

Ryan, you should apply directly to Dunder Mifflin.
