Part time jobs

Is it better to work in an agency, or a standard job. Only asking as finding standard jobs seem so tedious to get into as they all want experience however I haven’t got any apart from work experience which doesn’t really relate to standard jobs.

A standard job offers more in the way of job security and guaranteed hours. But if you are struggling to find a job, then looking at agency work is deffo something to look into. At least if you get an agency job, then you have a job. Once you have a job, it may be easier to find something permanent.
