I've been job searching for a few months and do a little freelance. I see a bunch of IT temp agencies hiring for other companies but temp work wasn't that great in my previous industry and I've had issues with temp agencies in the past. Is the potential for immediate but short-term real work worth the trouble, am I misinformed on tech temp agencies/jobs or is it better to hold out as long as possible for a full-time job? thanks all.
