So the morning has arrived, I'm sat here thinking what am I doing with my life! What happened to me? I was strong and confident once now I'm worried over what people will say about me stopping this temp job!
After some soul searching I'm not sure temping is for me. I think I went down this path just to please everyone else, not the way to work right? I'm not giving 100% as I always do, I don't feel part of the office/company. But at the same time I feel like I'll be whinging and people will be disappointed with me!

A very confused soul this morning!

Anyone been in this situation?

Hi everyone, just discovered the site today and I'm pretty thankful, there's some sound advice here.

That said I need a little advice (maybe confirmation of my own thoughts) on a specific thing. I lost my job at the start if the year -I chose the wrong company and will regret it for the rest if my working life!
Anyway, I went to a couple if agencies, one I don't hear much from and the other, the main one in my town, I signed up for temp work with.
They have gone through my cv, got my skills, got what I'm looking for and somehow I'm sent info for both temp and perm work that really doesn't match me.
My first temp role lasted a day and a half! On paper it sounded good in reality it was filing scanning all day long in a windowless room. I was working with young girl in her teens this was her  first job and she spent most if the day on her phone!
Last week I was sent details for an audit administrator, 3-6 months, a little commute but it really sounded a job to get my teeth into and hopefully go perm...I wish I knew where the agency get their job descriptions from but what I've been doing IS NOTHING LIKE THE DESCRIPTION! Not even close! It turns out it's an old job description for a perm role! So guess what I'm doing? Yep, filing and scanning all day long.

I've worked 2 days, but I've been off due to interviews the last couple of days and I'm due back in tomorrow, which I really can't bear! Thing is I have an interview with the same company but in a different department, different building, tomorrow. My question is do I suck it up go in and scan my life away or call the agency and tell them to get the right info before assigning roles and take me off this one.
I don't know if cancelling could harm my prospects, as I was told by the agency when I said I would go in after the interview (don't see much point sitting there for an hour before heading off!)
If anyone can put some perspective on this be much appreciated :-)
