On mine I have it like this:

January-May 1999 AGENCY NAME– various temporary jobs

However this part comes quite far down my CV as it was before I started uni and had my grad job.

I put mine like this (e.g.)

Don Valley Stadium - Through Office Angels - Administrator - Nov 2005 to June 2006

And then i put a job description underneath, as you may have acquired skills that an employer is looking for.

Good luck :thumbsup:

the new employer won't really care what agency it was through - they will care more about what skills you can offer and bring to them. Highlight these.
