Temporary Work
There are more than 10,000 temporary employment offices around the country, and these agencies provide
individual workers and services to thousands of businesses every day. With the cost of employee benefits
rising dramatically in the last few years, employers have become far more interested in the temporary
worker.
This is a great place to work for a while as youre learning a new field. Youre paid by the temporary
service and you may work at a job for one day, one week or one month or longer. It all depends on the job
and the amount of work associated with it. You may be helping a company get a big mailing program
done. Or you may come in to help with office duties due to extended illnesses or vacations. It may be a
temporary overload situation that needs workers.
Some of the temporary agencies specialize; others are more general and recruit all types of workers. You
dont have to be tied down to a regular job. You dont have the pressure normally associated with fulltime
work. You can work locally or you can sign on to travel for free and earn money at the same time!
If youve made up your mind to move to a new location,
but dont yet have a job, the temporary agency may be the place for you to start while youre looking or working on your education. Dont overlook the value of a temporary agency.
