The TemPositions Group of Companies — Local services in New York

This company is terrible.Everything I say in this post is truth and I have proof. It's a fight club between existing temps and new ones that are hired at a lesser rate. When a new temp wants to get hired, they have that temp and staff start attacking you. The attacks are the following: 1) School Professional staff would send you to the most problematic sites. Staff would have kids with severe behavioral problems disrespect or challenge the worker, to have an excuse to end the assignment. Also the school staff will accuse the worker of something, so the worker is forced to work for less pay at other assignments.

2)most assignments dont start till 9am but the school would have you come in as early 7am. You will continously get early jobs like this if you live at least 1 hour and 15 min away. And you cant be late now. I have been sent to LONG ISLAND, QUEENS Close to the airport, SOUTH BRONX, and i live in brooklyn (only had 4 assignments in bklyn during the 6 months).

3)the schools or the staff giving you assignments would want you to sleep with individuals to keep your job. i met a guy from east brooklyn on the subway.i didnt give him my number, by i took his. The next day SCHOOL PROFESSIONALS sent me a job in east brooklyn for 2 days. I clicked on the job within seconds, but it was already taken. I guess it could have been mines had i given my number. the job was sent on sunday, fired tuesday.

4)none of the long term work assignments given last till the end. unless your a relative or friend of a school professional staff or your sleeping around for it. Example: i was able to get my assignment extended and the worksite to pay me more money. I asked for more money because I was not given a 30 min break and my prep was used to help the teacher grade essay's and test, sharpen pencils, and do bullentin boards. All of a sudden, day 2 of my increased salary assignment,a fight breaks out in the classroom. Now the lil girl was problematic but normally would sit in her assigned seat and just stayed quiet. But this day one of the other teachers was out, just me and the teacher was in the classroom. This day she came in sat in another seat, next to another student that could get problematic, and refused to get up. Both I and the teacher talked to her nicely, bent down to her to speak her, but she still refuse. Then the lil girl started attacking the girl sitting behind her. Me and the teacher broke up the fight.then all of I get a call from school professional saying i said all of this stuff to the teacher and was put on 30 day probation. Again my assignment was extended with increased my pay, how it get so bad so quickly?was it that the teacher didnt need me after grading her quarterly ELA test that she descibed as tetious? Was it that i demanded more money for not receiving a 30 min lunch break?

5. they help traffick workers to other countries. Because why were they being pressured to fire me? was it to force me to work over seas? The last assignment, the worksite complained that I refered to a student as being muslim. A student came to me and ask could he go to the bathroom. I said "the muslim girl just went and you have to wait until she comes back." Mind you I did not receive a roster of student names.The school staff said I upsetted another student by saying another student was muslim. I had to explain to the student the reason why people wear a hijab is TO BE IDENTIFIED AS MUSLIM. It isnt a shame, its something to be proud of. And I identified her as such, so he knew who to look out for, in order to go to the bathroom when the person returned. 6) there is so much more but it would be a book. Work here if you got the skills and the support of the community, to get people fired. I didnt have that support so they basically used me to throw there trash on me and I cant even get a reference. Its not what you do, its where you live and who you know.Excuse for any typos and grammatical errors. I just needed to vent because I have no one to help me overcome what these employers have been...

Great company to work for when you are starting out to be a teacher assistant. Have most assignments are good, however during the summer there’s not a lot of assignments and sometimes they don’t have assignments available which I feel like it’s not school professionals fault as we get paid through the schools for example one director told me she had to pay school professionals to have a substitute teacher assistant come in, so really it depends on the schools need. My personal representative was good she tried her best to give me a long assignment however you would have to pick up assignments quickly as you would have to put yourself on the waitlist. Every company haves pros and cons. Some cons are sometimes not having assignments available, being waitlisted which doesn’t guarantee that you get the assignments, schools can cancel your assignments it can also be last minutes, some of the schools they send you are not good, they send you assignments which are far away, if you make a complaint about a school try not to do it don’t pick up the assignment that they send you to a school you don’t like it is not worth complaining to them as they would cut access to assignments which happen to me keeping me out of work for weeks even if you deny an extension to an assignment which it is your choice. I see some people dress up unprofessional and use their phone as the company have a strict policy not to do so but no one follows which is not fair as they give work to those people leaving me out of work when I follow their policy which is not fair and ridiculous basically gives work to the people they want to that was something I dislike about the company other than that it is okay to work for the company if you are starting a career in education or to make extra cash not a good option for a permanent job unless if a company is interested in hiring you or you’re a permanent sub. Be prepare to work hard and feel burnt out as some school take advantage of you for example your not allowed to be by yourself in a classroom, do openings or closing but schools mostly daycares don’t care about that policy. You can’t be late or call out or cancellation as you will have three warnings you either be on probation or terminated which is annoying, if you want to cancel an assignment you would have to call them and they act like you’re dumb and the tone of the person voice was so unwelcoming and rude.Some pros are you get paid on time, the second week on Friday, you can refer someone and get money for it, there are incentives, some schools are good and show appreciation, you kind of get paid more for example I accepted an assignment which was for 3 hours and got $80 for it, so you should really look and choose...

I had a really great experience working with one of the staff from this organization. As a job seeker, I highly recommend Natasha O'Connell. After having completed a few phone interviews and or first round in person interviews on my own, I was struggling to get past the first round. When I would finish my interview, I would walk away with a lack of confidence. I would often have that feeling as though the interviewer was not being genuine in their responses to how I answered their interview questions.

Usually when the interview is not going well and at the same time the interviewer wants to come across as pleasant, they only respond with one-word answers:

"Great" "Awesome" "Super"

.......They also have a "deflating balloon" tone in their voice when they give you these one word answers, so you just know your interviewer is being FAKE!!

I bet some of you are giggling to your self right now because you have been there. If you have ever experienced this on a job interview, then you know exactly what I am talking about. I explained these struggles I was having to Natasha, and she really helped me to overcome these hurdles so that my interviewers would respond positively to how I answered their questions, and sound genuine about it. Natasha's coaching methods proved to be so effective, that listening to her helped me to get hired.

My suggestion to you is to be humble. If you keep going on interviews and not getting past the first round and not getting the job, you might be doing something wrong! Remember, it's not always the most qualified person who gets the job. The one who gets the job is the one who interviews best!

Don't be afraid to tell Natasha where you are struggling in your interview process because your honesty will help her to help you in the end. Listen to Natasha when she says to get a blazer and wear it on your interview. Listen to Natasha when she says "dress up for that phone interview to get you in the interview mode." You never know if the interviewer is going to last minute request to skype with you and you do not want to be looking your worst!

Last but not least, when you go to Temp-positions in NYC, I recommend that you request to work with Natasha O'Connell! Her methods are effective in helping you to...
