ElwoodStaffing

I went online and got an appointment with an interviewer. Went to that appointment and had an interview! I have six job trades and in this economy, having a hard time finding work, so I figured rather then sit on unemployment, go work and at the least, earn a paycheck and possibly get hired full time seeing's how you can move around as a temp. Surely this is a better way to actually find work on a permanent bases I think. So, my interview had me fill out a resume and speak to the individual. Im looking for skilled labor so, that type of work that fits my ability's would be no problem in doing. Im talking operating big machinery, Iron work connecting or erecting, I have built cell towers and even operated an asphalt plant making the asphalt. Maintenance on machines, construction ect... you get the point, Ive worked since age 16 and am 45 now. I was told this was great and I should have no problems being assigned some work. If I do not hear back during the next day, call them "the agency". Well, I did, person not available! Day one... Day 2, Not available, day three same! She told me that she had work at a company they don't even staff anymore! I looked into it! Seems, if your in the market for low pay, at say TRI TECH capping perfume bottles ect... they can get you right to work no problems! But skilled work "not to put down any type of work", forget these people and their temp agency! If I did not have these job skill sets, I would do other types of work that pay less without a doubt. I do not mock anyone or any job! Im just saying that if you go to this agency with a set of skills that are specific and high paying, say $11 to 18 an hour average, don't expect a thing form the Lynchburg Virginia office! I only mentioned a few, I weld and other things too so really, no jobs and not even a call back to say so? That's poor business! Poor employee and bad for recommendations! How can I say anything good for them? I hope all of the offices and websites are not like this one! I wouldn't even say a thing if I was not promised work from them! I was, "no problems she said" My record is squeaky clean, my license and employment records are too! I think someone lied to me in that office no? SKILLED LABOR? DONT DO ELWOOD! HEADS UP!
