I don't know about all areas, but in Charlotte, there are temp agencies who specialize in Medical (CEO used to, but there are others too), Finacial (mobius, and Addecco has a branch that's nothing but financial), Construction (Labor Finders, Tradesmen Intl), etc. or at the very least, most general temp agencies have accout reps that specialize in spesific areas.

Also, secretaries are pretty outdated. Anymore you have Receptionists - who pretty much do nothing but answer the phone (unless that person has other spesific jobs - one company I worked for, the Receptionist was also the accts payable person, but it was pretty much two seperate jobs and she happened to have both). Or you have Admin. Assistants, who do meanial tasks (memos, mail, etc), but unlike secretaries, ususally have some sort of management-type responsibility.
