Does anyone have any ideas as to what the best temp agencies are in Philadelphia or the surrounding suburbs? Any experiences actually getting a job through one? I did some searches and found a few names, but by the looks of it many temp agencies are just scams that want to sell your information and don't actually have any jobs.

Some background info - I have only one year of college and no degree (taking time off from school as I don't have money to continue). I'm still college aged. I would like to find office work or something that will be enough to sustain rent/living. I'm pretty decent with basic computer programs (Word, Excel, etc) but I have no experience working in any sort of office position. I'm fine with working for low wages some time while I'm gaining work experience, but any ideas as to where to find jobs like that for people with no experience would be greatly appreciated! Already tried applying to a lot of Craigslist office positions with no luck.

Try Office Team as well.

Any employment agency that advertises in the Yellow Pages - as opposed to just a three-line byline in the classifieds - is likely a legit company.
