Should I quit my temping job? I need some advice on what to do, please help!?

I recently moved to Washington DC and went to HireOne staffing because I heard that a lot of people can get good full time positions by temping first. HireOne sent me to a law firm for an interview for a legal secretary, which I did not have any experience, but I went anyway. After, the temp agency said that they law firm thought that I would be great for an HR position that was opening up, but for the mean time I should work as a low paid temp in the marketing position for only a couple months. Now, 3 1/2 months later, I am still temping with no perment position. Also the temping agency tells me that the HR positon is no longer available to me. I think I should quit because I am being taken advantage of. However, by quitting I have to bail out on a small project that was given to me by the department I am in now. I am not making anywhere near what I am worth and no benefits. I have graduated from college, and have my degree, so I am over qualified for what I am actually doing!

1. finish your project... that way you can get a good referral by your current boss. however, start looking for jobs now so you have one lined up already when you quit temping!
2. I agree with the guy who answered first, it would be best for you to at least attempt to finish the project that you are working on but in the mean time start looking for a different job. Maybe you can find out why the HR position is no longer open to you as they hired you to temp with the promise of this. I too feel that you are being used. I wish you luck in finding a job more suited to you.
