I have a 4 year degree from an accredited University from one of the toughest (as in education standards) regions in the United States. I have a great employment history and professional references to recommend me to any employer. Unfortunately, since I moved to this area I have had a hard time finding work and figured the temp agency would be able to help. I spoke with a woman who's "professional" attire included an oversized T-shirt and bleach stained jeans. She looked over my resume, did not ask any questions related to my degree or work history, and proceeded to tell me that I am unemployable in this area. She took 3 phone calls during my brief visit and told those people that there were some openings and she would do whatever it took to help them get a job. That's what I expected to hear from her. Apparently, a 4 year degree means nothing, unless you are originally from this area or one of her personal friends.
