Anybody know any good temp agencies I could send my resume to in the North Bay?
Novato, Santa Rosa, Windsor, Sonoma, Sebastopol, Petaluma are all game. I have decided to stay up here and move into SF in January so me and my gf can both move at the same time. She is taking a few classes this semester and still feeling out the Bay Area. I am doing a little freelancing on the side but it isn't much. Want something so I am not just draining money and I can at least stay busy.
I wouldn't like to take anything with long term commitments right now, as we are leaving in January 2010... But any contract IT/Office work temp agency would be great through Dec 31st, 2009

I know there is a pretty big temp work force in Chicago and other cities, I have done a few gigs before for extra $ on the side, but not so sure of the options in the Bay Area.
thanks...

Aside from Autodesk and some great artisanal farms, not much of an economy in NBay

May want to figure out which temp agencies provide the IT outsourcing for real-time data-driven and tech intensive hedge funds and money mgmt firms based in SF; seems like a lot of the contract tech support workers live up (way up) in N Bay, occasionally commute into FinDt (at NYC-driven stk mkt hrs, so arrive <4AM and finish at ~1PM) but in a Net/Berry era can often work from remote

For IT or office work, you might want to look into the following:

Robert Half & Associates
When I temped for them they always kept me working in a number of different Bay Area cities.

Freelance Marketplaces

Elance.com, Guru.com, or iFreelance.com will give you even more flexibility than a temp agency and you can set your own rates.
