I work at a staffing company that specializes in connecting freelance professionals to organizations and agencies.



According to the contract I signed, I'm a W-2 employee working for them, but will be doing assignments for their clients. So while I'm on their payroll, I don't go to their offices or interact with their employees. My sole interaction is with their clients.



My latest assignment ended last month. While I'm not currently doing any assignments for the staffing company, I'm still employed by them.



I'm currently interviewing for full-time opportunities. In any job application, I'm required to list my current and past employers and provide the dates in which I started and ended work.



I find it hard to explain that my latest job was with company X, although I'm not really hired by X; I'm hired by Y. And while I'm not currently doing any work for Y, the staffing company, I'm still employed by them.



How to explain my situation on paper or during an interview?

For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala
