Looking for tips/advice dealing with temp agencies.

After a year away from the corporate world, I’m making my return via the temp agency. I left my old job of $23 hr due to the environment shifting from calm and peaceful to toxic and fast paced. Others were making mistakes and I was getting the blame etc. I have about 8 years experience in data entry/similar type work and a bachelor’s degree. Half the time I was at a law firm the other half I worked at a mortgage firm. I prefer remote work but do not have a laptop at the moment so not sure if that will hinder my results with the agency. I’m a huge introvert so I’m looking for something that will fit that mindset, mundane data entry work even. Between $20-$25 hr and I want to do my job and go home. No tons of meetings, overtime, being on the phone all day…

I’m a huge introvert so I’m looking for something that will fit that mindset, mundane data entry work even. Between $20-$25 hr and I want to do my job and go home. No tons of meetings, overtime, being on the phone all day etc. I’m willing to take a little pay cut for peace of mind and work life balance. I’ve done the fast paced worked for 8 years and I finally burnt out last year and don’t want to go through that again.

Any tips or advice prior to my interviews with the recruiters? What are some of the things I need to say to make sure I’m making the right choice that fits me? Thank you all for your help in this.
