I applied online. I interviewed at Philly Temps & Perm (Philadelphia, PA) in Feb 2019
Interview
They had me come in after a brief phone screen to go over a basic interview for a position they had in mind. It was just basic "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" "Tell me a little about yourself." Etc. They were very nice and paired me with an interview for a role as an administrative assistant which I then went to interview for and was hired for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was just basic "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" "Tell me a little about yourself." I think just to get how you answer interview questions.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Philly Temps & Perm in Jan 2018
Interview
I had a very difficult time dealing with this agency. They were tough to get a response from even though them were interested in my skills and background (or at least they SEEMED to be). Not as professionally run as some other agencies in the Philadelphia area.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Philly Temps & Perm (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
Small office in Center City. Interview began on time and was very pleasant. We talked about background, aims for the future, that sort of thing. Left feeling very comfortable with the process. Got a phone call the next morning saying she had a position she thought I'd be interested in. Called back and found out that it was a $12-an-hour data entry position that wasn't in any way temporary - or, rather, that it was "technically" temp-to-perm but she wouldn't feel comfortable forwarding my resume unless I was willing to commit. I'd just finished my masters, but I needed a job, so I told her I'd take the weekend to think about it. The next day, Saturday, I get an email outlining the training procedure for "the position at the DNC", a position I knew nothing about. I email back to the person who contacted me - who I had not spoken with and had no knowledge of - and received a rather snippy reply saying something along the lines of "I was under the impression you'd committed to this." I responded that I hadn't. Heard nothing that Monday about the data entry position, or anything else, for that matter, and can only conclude that since I didn't allow myself to get strong-armed into working an overnight position at the DNC, my relationship with Philly Temps is at an end.
