    God willing, I'll never have to temp again. But if I ever did, I'd again go through the 500 Staffing. They don't hold cattle-call job fairs or post fake jobs as resume bait - common techniques for many temp agencies to get bodies in the door - but provided friendly, personal service.

    More important, once I signed up with them, they got me assignments and good-paying ones too. I also had a dedicated contact person to call if there were any problems or questions that came up.

    I had to do a few rent-a-receptionist and chair-warmer gigs to start out with, but this is pretty standard. Once I proved myself reliable, they assigned me to the better-paying and longer-term gigs at places like BC Hydro and UBC. I can't say by how much, but I found that they also paid a better cut of their rate than you'd find at some of the other temp agencies in town.

    I worked with them almost exclusively for almost two years and they were good to me. If you must temp, check them out.
