Filling the gaps


Having graduated last year with a job offer, I was given the chance to take a full year out before settling down into the real world.

Jumping at the chance the last year has been as follows for me:


  • 3 months working in a bar in Kos - cultural stuff...honest.

  • 4 months temping in London at WHSmith Travel's Head Offices - great bunch of people.

  • 5 months travelling around S.America, Australia, N.Z. and Africa - wish it had never ended.

Unfortunately I returned home a month sooner than desired, due to 'financial issues' (thanks Natwest!) and am now stuck with only 2 months until I start my new job.

Having spent the past few days contacting various employment agencies, I have found that with such a time frame I am only suitable for Telesales or Bar Work...both jobs I have done before, but is there a niche in the recruitment market for 'super-temporary' work?

As I attempt to find out here are a few agencies who have been helpful in the past and at least courtious in saying no:

Freedom Select - http://www.freedomselect.co.uk/

Office Angels - http://www.officeangels.co.uk/

Brook Street - http://www.brookstreet.co.uk/
