Ja smine gave an awesome, wonderful, challenging and thoughtful presentation. It was amazing that this was her first large-scale presentation! Jasmine captivated the audience by her use of graphic slides throughout the presentation. All the other temps quit, some after only one day!

After 6+ years with my present company, they are restructuring the admins and have laid off those of us who can't relocate to another state. Do temp work until you land a permanent full-time position. Numerous administrative assistants and even high level executive assistants have written me. I am one of those.
