Agency opportunities

I do an easy job at the moment in online shopping in a supermarket, my job is being changed soon to become even simpler and more one dimentional so I've decided I need to leave before I go mad with boredom. Can't see any permanent jobs I would enjoy so am thinking of trying some agencies but wondered if anyone has any idea of what level work I should be offered so I have some idea what to ask for. I last did agency work after graduating sojust took anything I was offered then. I am looking at office work, I have a degree, have spent time teaching and tutoring and have also run a small busies with a family member where I did all he admin duties so have smalscale n experience of accounts, payroll, credit control etc. I am competent with office software and have used Sage briefly.
I would appreciate any advice on what kind of jobs I should be able to expect.
Please excuse the spelling mistakes, my phone will not let me correct them.

So do you have any paid, recent (last 12 months) office experience? If not, agencies will be unlikely to have work for you in that field as it is oversubscribed at the moment and is usually mind numbingly boring.

Again with accounts, do you have your AAT, or a considerable amount of recent paid experience? Agencies will only take candidates seriously who they are able to job search for; no relevant experience or qualifications will mean you're just another name on the books.

If you have no experience, perhaps volunteer somewhere? Or if you are interested in accounts administration, perhaps get your AAT at night school?
