先週は仕事が次々とやってきた。
something like this... Is this a homework problem? The English sentence seems to beg the Japanese phrase.
先週は仕事が次々とやってきた。
or
先週は次々と仕事がやってきた。

The difference between きた and やってきた is like ¥"work came¥" versus¥" work ¥"came and came¥" . やってきた sort of doubly emphasizes 次々と .
先週は仕事が次々とやってきた。
or
先週は次々と仕事がやってきた。

In the English? Technically it is probably ungrammatical, but it is a colloquial and natural sounding way to say it.
