text: how can i get a job doing office work? i'm 19 and looking for a part-time summer job. i've done the fast food worker and cashier worker thing before but i always hated it. how can i get hired to do some find of office work? where do these kind of places advertise that they're hiring? the best thing is to apply or go through a temp agency. i have office experiance and being hired in at a company i make less then my friend made by going through a temp agency. there are websites online and you could check your local newspaper in the classified job section. a temp agency is the best way to go though since they have lots of contacts and you have potential to make more. my friend that mentioned started out making more then i did and she has no office experience prior, after getting hired in (once the temp time expired) she was given a $2.50 raise. i know that isn't always the norm. of things but since then i have switched jobs and she still makes more then me. there are local temp agency all over the place. they even have ones that specialize in office workers. good luck!
