OK so I moved to the NYC area this fall and am having difficulty finding a job (like a lot of other people). I won't go into specifics, I know moving here without employment is like the #1 no-no and all, but the situation was complicated.
So anyways, I'm thinking about looking into employment agencies/ temping which is something I have no experience in and am clueless about, can anyone offer advice or agencies to look into? There are so many and half the ones I see advertised seem like scams to me. I'm looking for jobs in entry level medical or scientific fields specifically, my previous job was as a chemical lab tech and I would prefer something similar, but really I'm not picky. I know any job is hard to come by these days. So yeah, where should I start?
Get the Sunday New York Times and look through the Help Wanted section. It used to be pretty large and had a list of all the agencies and what they specialized in.
Also, check the yellow pages for agencies as well.

These days the Help Wanted section has shrunk a lot but it's as good a place as any to start looking.
I have a friend who works for a temp agency in New York. But to be honest, lately, she isn't getting a lot of calls from them. She does does general office work for them. I'll look up the temp agency name and PM it to you in a bit.
I've been doing most of my searching through online ads, email, etc. Honestly hadn't picked up up an actual print newspaper in a while (i'm a child of the digital age!) But I'll give it a shot. A listing of agencies and their specialties is exactly what I was aiming for.
Also thanks for the info kingweasel I will check them out.
