Not sure if you are still responding to me but I definitely would because it kind of seems you don't see the value in a temp agency. You said they were all the same. I have never gotten anything from a recruiting firm but I got a ton the last time I was out of work from a temp agency.

Almost every 6 weeks they would have a 13 week assignment at a nice place that was pretty awesome. Then after 8 weeks on the job you would qualify for unemployment. So, once you were done with that job you could go on unemployment. In fact what happened was I was on unemployment, I got an offer for a temp job I did that.. the unemployment I was already on way stayed and when the temp job ended I just started up unemployment again.

I would have stayed doing this forever (the pay was surprisingly good) but they didn't have health insurance.
