VETERAN EMPLOYMENT "GOUGE"
Is getting a CONTRACT Position all that bad?
Like everything in life, there is some good, and some not so good. No difference in Professional staffing agencies. But did you know some companies actual budget out and allocate a % of jobs to staffing agencies? This could be one of your best ways to get in the door and prove yourself with an employer.
