Temporary Employment Agency or Television Sitcom “The Office”

This is “great!” A place in the world, I can go to that is like a job factory. The perfect job was waiting just for me. I did not need an education because it was my dream job and I knew how to do it. I was the only person that could fill the position so an application was an unnecessary process. In my mind I pictured it being as it is in the movie Beetlejuice, when he went to be employed as a ghoul. Unlike the movie, this was a place for people that were alive and wanted to work. People do not go to a temporary agency to fulfill an unemployment requirement because when someone goes to a temporary agency they go in unemployed and come out employed. I had it all worked out in my mind. The temporary agency’s office was big and elaborate. It had water fountains that stood in each of the four corners. A place that was very relaxing. I heard the faint sound of jazz playing in the background. The people that worked at the temporary agency were nicer than the environment. Everybody was so nice and eager to give me the perfect job. They knew that I was coming, so they waited for me to get there. I would go in unemployed and come out employed. That was a great feeling. I couldn’t wait to get to the temporary agency’s office. I got to the temporary agency’s office and I was still excited, anticipation was written all over my face. However, reality sat in when I opened the door to the office and it was like walking on to the set of the television sitcom “The Office.” I saw Pam Beesly, Dwight Schrute, and Michael Scott. “The Office” might have a statue of Dark Vader lounging next to an applicant. A temporary agency will have a useless picture of a pear hanging on the wall or maybe a cheap picture of a horse since I live in Kentucky. Somewhere hidden in the corner

    Donnell Furlow Summary

    • 476 Words

    Thesis: By including “Donnell Furlow” in her collection, the editor intended to explore the different effects that growing up surrounded by drugs and violence has on people. “Donnell Furlow” appeals to readers’ emotions by demonstrating how Donnell’s heart-wrenching situation led to his moral ambiguity and blurs the line between good and evil. Donnell grows up in the Rockwell Garden project, a low-income housing community rife with gangs and the problems they provoke, such as violence and drug use. Donnell’s two older brothers were both involved with this lifestyle, and dragged Donnell in at a tragically early age. As he recounts, “by the time I was in grammar school, I was learning how to clean guns, how to shoot a gun, how to hide a gun, how to bag up cocaine and how to shake dope……

    I remember it all. I can still feel the warm summer wind gliding my sun-kissed cheeks. I didn’t usually have all of my windows down while I drove, especially not on the way to my lackluster burden, otherwise known as my job. Today was an exception, however, summer was quickly approaching its end, and I would be once again bound by the chains of high school. I decided to cherish every little bit that I had left. As I pulled in, I thought to myself, “just another ordinary day of work.” Oh…

    It was a Thursday morning in November. I woke up, got dressed and got ready to take a taxi to 42nd Street in Manhattan with my mother. I was so upset that I had to leave to upstate somewhere I had never been and the thought of living there? Lord knows I wanted to throw up so badly. When I got to 42nd Street I saw the guy that I had an interview with. He said, “Hello Nikki. Are you excited to go to Job Corps?” I lie and said yes. When it was time to leave I said goodbye to my mother and got on the bus.…

    Unemployment. Only one man is unemployed in a city of 100,000 is his personal trouble, and for its relief we properly look to the character of the man, his skill, and his immediate opportunities. But when in a nation of 50 million employees, 15 million men are unemployed, that is an issue, and we may not hope to find its solution within the range of opportunities open to any one individual.…

    It was in the muggy day in the middle of July and I was stuck outside watching a bunch of bratty kids run around in the woods playing tag and hide and seek. A few months earlier, I was applying for the Camp Counselor job at the M.E Lyons YMCA, which would be my first job. In the beginning of the summer, I had no idea that being a counselor would be extremely challenging, but very rewarding in the end.…

    As we rode along, I watched the skyscrapers turn into trees, and the sidewalks turn into grass. We went from urban to rural in an hour. During the ride, I thought about my career as a writer, and how earlier that day I was talking aloud to my interactive voice typewriter. I could not come up with anything noteworthy, so I left my house out of frustration. I was headed to a park for inspiration when I ran into Otis.…

    It had been a frigid all day long and the closer it got to the end of the day the colder it got. I had been nervous about the interview since the day before. The interview had been set up for it to be after school in a classroom. Butterflies had been fluttering around in my stomach and the closer it got to the end of the day the more anxious the butterflies had become. I was in my final class trying to focus on writing my final essay before christmas break but it was no use. I was more focused on going over what I would say and do during the interview that was coming up closer than I expected. The final bell of the day had rung and off I went to the designated room which was 232 where I would meet and interview my veteran. He had been teaching…

    Some 8.5 million people are collecting unemployment insurance, including 4.8 million receiving federal benefits. So how do we get Americans back into work? Our department has put forth a $12 million dollar budget proposal to do just that. This plan includes special training and employment opportunities for those who are jobless, displaced workers and those communities that are defenseless and vulnerable. It is time that the government gives back to its community instead of taking. Our plan advocates that unemployed workers have to be made more competitive and more appealing to business through training and employment programs. It allocates a budget of $6 million to be spent on such programs that would be targeted at preparing workers to work in places that where high paying salaries and growth prospects are high. Why let inexperienced individuals try and get a job that they wont last long in. Our plan gives the opportunity to prepare people to get into jobs that will last them their whole lives. This may seem like a lot of money spent, but it is being spent on programs that will last forever because fixing unemployment is not going to happen overnight. This budget will put money towards useful programs to help the growth of our economy and the people in it. Many people don't even have the…

    There may be some persons who choose not to work; there may be some individuals who simply cannot work for reasons that otherwise prevent them from doing so. However, the majority of persons who are unemployed are at that stage involuntarily and for varying reasons, based on the current economic situation, and not by their choice. Why then, would one decide not to be employed? In a scenario where voluntary unemployment takes place, many persons feel that their current wage is not high enough to justify them working. They may feel that what they have contributed to the company is not seen as value added. They may also have a poor relationship with management. Therefore, they will leave their current job in search of another, with better compensation and benefits, opportunities and challenges; often times not able to be…
