Job hunting question

[redbird]

Is there anything special I should do with my resume, or in the job-hunting process, because the current job is through a temp agency? I've been in the same place for six months now, but if someone calls the personnel department there, they'll probably be told that my employer has never heard of me, because technically I work for Lloyd Staffing, not PCH. (It's possible Andrea would say "Oh, yes, Vicki, I know her", but I can't count on that, and she might not be the one to get that call.)

I'd second the above suggestion -- figure out exactly who at the current employer you would like to be your reference, get their okay, and then put their direct contact information down. All that the temp company can say is that you showed up regularly and nobody complained -- they can't speak to the quality of your work or the pleasure you give those around you as a co-worker.
