Hi, I am currently applying to graduate schemes at many of the large consulting firms. I was hoping in the mean time I may be able to get some relevant temping work.Does anyone know of any agencies in London that will be able to provide me with this sort of work? I don't mind which company the work is at, as long as it is relevant e.g head office of a large shopping firm, etc.ThanksJ

Accenture use temps from Spring, and some have gone on to get 'proper' jobs on the outsourcing engagements.

Thanks for the reply. Was hoping for something that started a bit sooner though. I don't mind just a week here and there.J

It wasn't a job offer!

Have been looking at the same. There are a lot of good opportunities for temping in the London area in roles which would allow you to develop relevant skills to consulting. Eg. Data Analysis, report writing etc....Try reed.co.uk

I guessed it wasn't an offer. Just saying that I wanted something a bit sooner, incase you or anyone else had any ideas.Thanks again

Hi JAP, I'm going to go into London tomorrow and just wonder in and out of agencies all day seeing what they have. I'll make sure to have a look at reed.co.uk.Thanks and good luck with your hunting too.J

Ahem, that's Spring the agency, not spring the season you tool

With that in mind, J, you would be perfect for Accenture.

Tool, fair enough. Thats the great think about being anonymous on here. Although I have never heard of Spring the agency but I will look into it, thanks.

J - you should really take the time to spell- and sense check your posts:"Thats the great think ....."Admittedly this is only a forum - and is hence an informal medium. However, you have not managed to glean the information you required, because you have not communicated effectively. Just a friendly tip....For the rest of you, do you have to be so abusive? J has been a little sloppy, but he has not offended your family, your way of life, or threatened your existence. Get some perspective, and avoid taking out your own frustrations on innocent and entirely random people.

Sorry, I work around bright people all day long and it sets certain expectations. I have little patience for the terminally lazy or stupid.

hmmm, not convinced by your answer VI. I think you are beginning to believe you own hype.
