Word Processing and Graphics Centers at Law Firms, Investment Banks (and other places) can be very lucrative for temps. The pay rates in "Centers" can range from $19-$50/hr. And because most Centers are 24 hours, there is a lot of opportunity for overtime.

Being good looking would definitely help get you in. Are you cute?

Knowing MS Office is a basic skill. The law firms mainly use word (i.e. law firms mostly don't use excel and powerpoint but this is changing). The law firms use the automatic numbering feature in Word which IBanks generally don't use.

All of the major companies (law firms and Investment Banks) have customized MS Word, so everyone has to go through orientation to learn each company's particular templates. There are also Tests that company's give to temps to qualify for working in a Center (you can ask another temp or your agency for the answers).

You just have to start registering with temp agencies until you find one that gives you work. New temp agencies and temp agencies that have just obtained new Center contracts are your best bet.

For example, Tiger just got a big contract with Morgan Stanley. I think Adecco may either have some new or one of their old contracts is getting really hot.

The claim that you have to have 2 years of experience is mostly bullshit. You just have to dive into the cesspool head first and register with agency after agency after agency until one of them thinks that you are cute and gives you work.

as a matter of fact, a lot of agencies are tying to save/make money by paying some really low rates right now. The Temps who DO have 2 or more years of Center experience may just be priced out of the market right now at a lot of agencies. If you play dumb and act like you don't know that $19.00/hr is a bullshit rate for third shift, you may get into a center. Once you are in a Center you can then either switch to another agency that pays more money or use your EXPERIENCE to get into another center with another agency at a better rate.

Okay, that will be $50.00 cash, unless you would like to pay me in trade.

BTW, if you've been told that you have to have two years of experience in order to work in a Center, you are probably Black

Just tell the man the stone cold facts Ross.

There are three types of word processing /graphics centers in New York City, those supervised by:

(1) tired ass queens; those supervised by
(2) hard-up single White female hags; and those supervised by
(3) butt ugly psycho Mandinka beauches from the Caribbean

For some reason, when employers need to fill their Black quota in NYC, they always seem to look toward Jamaica or some other idiot ***king island in the Caribbean for the ugliest dumbest Beauch they can find.

All three of the above types of supervisor are all looking for a date when they call a temp agency for a temp. AND, every temp agency in NYC knows exactly what KIND OF TEMP their hard-up idiot ***ker Clients are into.

there was an item in the news some years ago in which it was disclosed that a temp agency in NYC had coded all of its account files to show what kind of temp each Client hated. "No Marias" meant that that Client did not like Hispanic females

So when you go register with a temp agency looking for Center work, you had better look like:

( a ) something some tired ass queen would drool over; like

( b ) something some hard-up Single White Female who hasn't had any dick in 200 years would drool over; or

( c ) like something some Abused Butt Ugly Psycho Caribbean Mandika Beauch would drool over. Because, ...

a lot of these shit shop temp agencies SERVING Centers are little more than glorified Escort Services.

Well, Missy, the fact is that it is not illegal to discriminate against someone because they are ugly.

So, unless you plan to argue that your ugliness is a physical disability (which YOUR ugliness obviously is) you just have to go temp at law firms and whatever other kinds of companies are into ugly temps.

I feel much safer now working in the WP Centers of investment banks knowing that Christopher Paige can’t get in. I guess there is a God after all, huh?

You are exactly right, Marcus. Employers have an interest in the esthetics of their workplaces. I mean, when you are trying to make a good impression on clients who visit your office, do you want your reception area to look like one of the sets from “Lion King”?

Christopher thinks that just because he has a technical degree and can type fast that he should be getting a lot of WP Center work; getting WP Center work is not about being smarter and typing faster (if it were WP Centers would be a lot DARKER than they are now and there would be no need for temp agencies that weed out the DARK and the UGLY).

Why don't you just all get PERM jobs if you are all so high and mighty?

I was a temp and am now a Commission-less temp counselor at one of the bigger private temp agencies in Manhattan

in other words, I'm a dumb anorexic bitch who doesn't know shit about the temping business but I am like really really eager to give attitude to people I think are further down on the food chain than I am

and we work very hard to match the perfect temp with the perfect Client. Well, I don't, because I don't actually know shit about actually making money, but the owners and the temp counselors on commission do.

Get a PERM job if you think you are God's gift to humanity. If you have to temp, then shut up. I mean it is not like there are more than 1,000 temp agencies in New York City that you can go register with.

Hey, Fuzzy,

Are you interested in a possible long-term at L Bank?

Meet me at the Gaiety on Friday and we can go to the East Side Club and meet the Guy you would be working for.

Well, you know that IS how GTCB got that big temp contract with L Bank; She met Mr. Right at the East Side Club.

I hear that that is how she gets all of her contracts.

We test all temps that temp agencies send to us at my IBank and I can tell you that Young Good Looking White Males score much higher on our tests than women and Blacks do.

I guess Young Good Looking White Male Temps have a superior educational background to ugly temps, women temps and Black Temps.

BTW Fuzzy, are you on a long term somewhere right now? We have a lot of long term positions open here if you want to fax your resume to me.

Christopher is right, all of these tired ass bitches are looking for a date when they call for a temp.

I've worked in every center in town, if some tired ass *ucker wants to pay me $50.00/hr (and pay a temp agency $100.00/hr) so that he can stare at my ass all night, what do I care.

Hi, I'm new in town. I can't type and I have no clerical experience, but I'm very interested in a long term Center assignment.

Can anyone recommend a good agency for Center Work?
