Manpower Professional

Is about the same as applying online.
What is the difference of going in?
Maybe schedule several such agencies and visit several at a time?
It does deserve 2 starts, part of my career got started by them.

I worked for Manpower in San Mateo successfully on assignments in Redwood City, and even with outstanding records, once i moved BACK to San Jose/​Sunnyvale, this agency did absolutely NOTHING to place me. I did the online thing too, which was still a big zero. They really «dropped the ball» for me, and I’m very well qualified, so I’m looking for greener pasteurs, sorry I waited so long anticipating better results. Somebody needs to take the reins at this Stevens Creek location, because at this point, well, you can see yourself, they are way down the list of being a good place to work in Silicon Valley/​San Jose.

Tried to use them about a year ago when i was planning on leaving my job. They told me to come in to speak with one of the recruiters. When I walked into the building, the smell hit me… i don’t know if it was curry or cumin, but i thought i was walking thru the kitchen of an Indian restaurant…
Walked upstairs and there was no receptionist, so I found someone and told them I was scheduled to meet w/​a recruiter… here’s how the meeting went:
recruiter walks out of his office, asks for my resume, gives me his card and writes the web address on it, tells me to look for jobs on there…
why’d I have to come all the way out here for this?
Never got a response to any emails or calls after that… don’t waste your time over here.
