[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 374063, member: 3907"] K, I wouldn't be surprised if landlords have relaxed their regulations a bit too, if they have empty apartments to fill. In my city, rental unit vacancies are very high and it really is a "buyer's market" at the moment. I wonder if that's the case in your area as well. With regard to having a steady employer to put on applications though, the temp agency might serve that purpose too. I worked as a temp for quite a while, and they were my Employer of Record for income tax, rental applications, bank stuff etc. at the time. I would apply to a few of them, especially if you have a number of different skills: for example, an administrative agency, an accounting/bookkeeping agency and a computer tech agency. If all 3 can send some work your way, you might end up with close-to-full-time work, even though it's piecemeal. I also agree that LinkedIn is a great resource. It's more like Facebook than Monster or other job hunting sites, but for professional rather than social contacts. It can really open up doors for you, as people you know might also know people, who know people...etc. A lot of recruiters also use LinkedIn to fill positions. [/QUOTE]
