Robert Half Finance & Accounting

Robert Half is your typical middleman looking to make a quick buck.
I came to Robert Half in search of entry-​level accounting work. I clearly explained that despite my background in sales, I had no further interest in that line of work. My degree is in accounting, and that’s exactly the kind of work I was seeking. A week later, I was informed that they had found the perfect job for me. They were a bit murky on the details (my fault for not digging harder), but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I arrived the next day at my new job, coffee in hand, ready to tackle whatever accounting work needed to be done. However, to my shock and dismay, the job turned out to be nothing more than a call center sales gig in a high turnover environment. I was devastated by this deception, and hastily resigned the following day. Assuming there had to be some mistake, I phoned Robert Half to discuss my grievances. Despite my rationale and reasoning, I was thoroughly lambasted for not «giving the job a chance.» Had they not heard me previously mention my disinterest in sales work, or did they simply not care? My guess is the latter. Avoid this agency like the plague.
