Best temp agencies in Denver?

I'm looking for temporary work in Denver and have no idea what agency to go through. Has anyone had positive/negative experiences with any particular agency? I don't have any particular skills, I'd probably end up doing office work, if that helps.

I'm not from Denver, but I work in the industry. The large national players are worth contacting, assuming they have an outpost in town, including Manpower, Robert Half, Adecco and Kelly Services. No need to stick to just one agency, as they'll have more unique jobs than jobs on which they're competing with each other.

Good luck!

My wife used Lakeshore Staffing (lakeshorestaffing.com) before she found her position through a friend. She says, "They're all right."

I combed through your other posts - DO play up that you have the library experience! Take and ace those computer tests they'll inevitably give you on Word, Excel, and such.

It's a rough market out there, especially when your job market is largely controlled by the agencies (paralegals are seldom screened and hired directly by corporations/law firms).

Good luck out there, and whatever you do, don't sell yourself short.
