Tips for Working With Temp Agencies in Recovery
  • Be honest about your situation. Many staffing coordinators have seen it all and will work with you if you’re upfront. Honesty builds trust.
  • Show up on time and ready to work. First impressions matter — arrive early, dressed appropriately, and with a positive attitude.
  • Get an ID and Social Security card first. Most agencies require these to process your paperwork. Phoenix House staff can help if you need assistance getting documents.
  • Ask about temp-to-hire opportunities. Many temp jobs can become permanent positions. This is a great way to prove yourself with an employer.
  • Start immediately — don’t wait until things are perfect. Even part-time or short-term work builds your employment history and boosts your confidence.
  • Let Phoenix House staff know. We can support you with scheduling, transportation logistics, and celebrating wins along the way.
