This place is very good for young people who need a bit of extra cash but dont want to be stuck in…read morethe same old weekend job and want a bit of variety. It is very easy to sign up to, all you need is NI card and passport, fill out a basic form, and answer a few test questions just to make sure you have good basic numeracy and literacy skills. It took no more than a day for me to get my first job from here. They just ring you up as soon as they have some work for you, for example, to fill in for someone who has called in sick ie cafe work. To attend events where venues need more bar/waiting staff for the night, but mainly its warehouse work ie putting together information packs etc. You are given a time sheet that you have to get your employer to sign and give back to Status. Then you just have to sit back and wait for a cheque, which almost always comes through on a friday. The pay is also minimum wage no matter what job you are doing. All in all, a brilliant idea for young people to get out there and gain experience in different areas.

If your unlucky enough to speak to the director he is very rude and snobish to blokes and 'trys' to be ladys man to the girls. Such a bad company and even there ex staff agree.

Not that adecco is any better either though, I found both of them (adecco and reed) in hammersmith to be useless. Its better to go to employment agencies in different parts of London as Ive found those in Hammersmith to be useless.

Office Angels. Yes, an embarrassing name for a temp agency, but a very good temp agency…read morenevertheless. I signed up with Office Angels immediately upon arrival in London, and was temping a few days later. I told Office Angels that my preference was to work with NGOs, and, out of the 3 longer assignments they found me, two were with non-profits. The third was with a Japanese pharmaceutical company that had a lot of free lunches, so the trade off was worth it. I was literally not out of work a day when I lived in London--Office Angels kept me as busy as I wanted! They also had regular free lunches for their temps, which were a nice gesture. Most of the women that worked there also had extremely eccentric hair.

Also, they are not full of stupid questions about why you need to work etc. They are a little bit tricky to find. They are above a hairdressers in the high street, but the door you use is actually for a clothes and shoe business which shares the premises with the agency. However, when you go up they are really welcoming. Also, they actually answer the phone and reply to emails which is unheard of in some agencies too. I would recommend them as a good part of your job search especially if you want work more locally although they cover London too.
