Hello,
I apply a lot for job those last days.
This morning somebody from a temporary agency left me a message about a job I applied for. So I thought she would tell me to meet the client or have a job for me.
She called like at 9 and I called back at 9h30, she said that they have found someone else and they have nothing for the moment but she still wants me to come to talk about my last experiences and provide references. I told her I have already met people not once but twice.
I got a bit angry and told her if she has nothing for me then why does she still wants me to come, I said I would understand if you had something, she said you have the choice to come or not and all the temporary agencies have the same procedure.
I said no, it isn't, I worked with two which didn't ask me to come.
I know this temp agency for years and they have never been able to find me something and they asked me to come quite often, it will be the 4th time over years.

I told her I was sorry at the end of our conversation if I come across as angry but for example when I used to work in England they did find it rude to waste people's time without having an offer. She said we are not in England but let's arrange a day for the meeting. So I have accepted as I am looking for a job.

I try to assert myself but I am afraid of appearing as angry and I didn't want to lash out at her as she is reaching out to me.

I feel so confused these days, I need to work even though financially I am ok but I don't want to stay home doing nothing, and at the same time I am a bit scared to have to deal with mean people as my position and my status as a temporary worker make you like the pushing bag of stupid people.

I want to have a master and change career but the session will start next November or December with the school I selected. I would love to have my own business but for this I don't have enough finance and I still need to work on what type of business.

Any advice is welcome.
