Do you live in a city with many temporary agencies? Sorry it was a tough go with the one you went to. Throughout my spotty career I went to many temp. agencies, and find them all so different. Just as rude as the first one was, there will be 2 or 3 others where they are genuinely happy to see you come in the door. I live in a city where many people are underemployed; I even eventually lied (down)about my education and experience so they would quit telling me I was overqualified. It sounds like that's the spot you may be in now. Many employers prefer the barely-qualifed to the over-qualified. Whatever it takes to survive. Let us know how it goes.
