In the past I have worked for Manpower, there should be a listing they are a national company. I worked in an electronic factory making hard drives.  Since I was a good steady worker they kept me employed for many months. GOOD LUCK

Rather than a letter you might want to make a phone call and set up an appointment with the Human Resources Department. Find out what  openings are available. If they like you they'll help you fit in somewhere if they can. At least you'll know. While you are waiting check into jobs with Temp agencies. Around here they jobs pay very well and are often a foot in the door to something permanent. Good luck.

I worked in the staffing industry.  You should list the agency you worked with and treat it as employer.  I would suggest using a phrase such as "short term contract" versus using the word "temp"  Working through and with an agency these days in so popular most employers would expect to see temp work on your resume.  Do not add in any work under 3 months!!

I've worked for a temp agency.\n\nPro - You can usually get some work (translate as cash) right away. They generally pay fairly. Often times you are offered a permanent position with the company.\n\nCon - No benefits. No security. You might have to take those sttupid tests in their office (I had to take typing and MS Office tests to prove proficiency.).

You dont have to have connections. Go to either a Temp agency or your local Dept. of Labor and they will for sure find you a job.

Most websites have a contact us or similar option.  Or there is probably an 800 number listed on the website.  Call them and I am sure they will be happy to send you an application.

The Oregon Department of Transporation is always looking for flaggers. I believe you would find their job requirements and where to apply at their website (http://www.odotjobs.com/). It looks like they even have a way to notify you when a position comes open. I have a friend that recently started with ODOT in southern Oregon and I believe he needed to be certified (a simple process) before being hired. Again, the job listing should tell you the requirements.

Heck yeah there are awesome temp jobs out there. Go to an agency, like ABE or Nelson, and they will set you up.\n\nYou go in with your resume for an initial talk with them. From there they will help you figure out what jobs are the best fit for you and help place you in a job that not only builds your resume and potentially land you a full time job. \n\nIf you go with Nelso they also offer emergency health care for 8-15 a week. This is reallly important because most temp positions dont have this. Also, you will have an account manager who will help you get to where you want to be. Mine was incredibly helpful, and I got picked up by a company with in 24 hours of my initial interview with the agency and the company. I still ahve that job today, and it has turned out to be a terrific career path.

Look under "Temp Agencies" in your town.  Here in L.A. there are "Talent Temps" with clowns, etc.

let me tell you my fellow laid back friend. there is a place for everyone. but the one place that will always be home for me is southern california. there is no more laid back and accepting place in the world. this is especially great if you like to be outdoors or are the sporty type. as you well know the weather is just about always perfect, and you are only an hour and a half away from snow, dessert, mountains, and of course the beautiful beaches. as you also well know the place is heavily populated, i know you dont like crowds, but if you want to find someone with similar intrests, i promis there are thousands there whatever your into. AND you get to learn the value of a dollar. dosnt sound like much, but you have to work hard and not live in excess if you want to get by comfortably. of course you could hate it there, but this is just my opinion. its a wonderful place, but if you dont want to pay that much the pacific nothwest has the same feel without the beautiful weather. ie portland or seatle. very cool places, just not if you like to get out much. good luck man, i hope you find a place you really love.

Put in applications everywhere and read the classifieds every Sunday. Apply at temp agencies. Most of them have office jobs where you don't deal with the public.
