How long does it usually take to get temp work in Portland?
I'm relocating to Portland (Oregon) and want to do some temp work for awhile when I get there. I've heard that the economy isn't necessarily doing that great there right now. So, does anyone know how long it generally takes before getting temp assignments? A day? A week? Months? If you've temped before (even if not in Portland), how long did it take to get your first one? I'm not too picky about what sort of temp work I'd be doing. I did recently graduate with bachelor's degrees in business and finance, if that would help me at all. Bonus points to anyone who might know what a normal wage for a temp job in Portland might be! Thanks!

Answer 1 :
It really isn't that hard to find temp work in portland, especially in the business field. However, the pay isn't that great usually between $9-$15. I recommend checking out portland.craigslist.com and look under the jobs section to kind of get and idea of what is available, and what they are paying. Good luck to you.
Answer 2 :
I'm working as a temp at the public library, you get paid somewhere between $8.00 to $10.00 generally speaking. I applied on the first of last month, got a call interview in 3 days got the job within a week and half. I have never volunteered or worked before. And I work 6 hours a day 5 days a week. The $9-15 salary is usually for permanent workers since my co-worker who is permanent gets $14.00/hr. I'm applying at a grocery store(WinCo or Haggen) and TriMet where the seasonal part tim employee gets paid about $11.00 an hour with no expirience necessary. After 3-6 months you get a $2 raise. I graduated high school 2 years ago, I got okay grades, never had any experience in any sort of work, since you're a college grad, you'll probably get in easier.
Answer 3 :
You can get a job in one day. Check Craiges list, there are several different classifications wanting employees. The average wage is about $11. per hour for temp work. Some pay very well and some pay minimum wage with no relation between the difficulty of the job and wages.
