Hi everyone!

With regards to a high turn-over of office receptionists, I would like to have someone work for me for about a week or so, without being forced or have any inclination to hire them or have any indemnification issues. I?ve heard aboutinternships or students working for good future references/ experience yet I don?t want to suffer or have to put up with people that are not experience.

For an internship to work, you need to be able to assign a mentor to the intern.

For your situation, I would make use of a temp agency.
This way, you can try before you hire, and dismiss anyone who doesn't work out with no complications.

If you are having a very high turnover, you need to honestly answer 3 questions;

Am I trying to pay below what the job is worth to an employee?

Am I asking to much of a new person?

Am I hard to work for?
