Who do I put as my employer if my last job as through an agency?
Sunday, August 1st, 2010I’m apply for work and I’ve had minimal luck and I don’t want to return to an agency since I’m trying to find part-time jobs and agencies usually specialize in full-time. Maybe I’ve had bad luck since I’m putting the location in which the agency had me working at. Should I use the agency itself as my last employer or the place they had me working?
If the agency paid you then they were your employer regardless of where you actually performed the work.
If are performing services for a well-known business you may wish to include that. I worked for Manpower a number of years ago but performed the services at IBM. I show that job as "Manpower @ IBM" so that a prospective employer has a sense of what the job entailed.
