I was unemployed for 5 weeks and have been applying at various temp agencies. Everyone including McCall said the same thing...it's slower than usual due to the economy. The recruiter I saw at McCall was very nice and understanding of my situation. She was very straight forward with me (in a very sweet way) and told me what to expect with the current unemployment status. I am very greatful for that. Two days after speaking with them, they did find me a temp job that is to last about 2 - 3 months. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping this job would turn into something longer. Overall, I would definitely recommend them. They are very honest polite people. It really helped me emotionally when they came across as caring about my situation.
Pros: Really nice people
Cons: short-term temp job at the moment
