Use a Temporary Job Service

Employers often use temporary employment agencies to recruit staff for peak periods or to avoid the commitment that goes with normal hires. Temporary jobs pay you money, will help you learn more about the world of work, and may even help you meet a prospective employer. Some benefits of a temporary staffing service include:

• Developing a networking system.
• Ability to check out potential employers (Remember, there are good and bad ones. Wouldn't you like to know before going to work for a company?).
• Benefits are usually available - check out different temporary agencies for ones that have benefits.
• Software training programs are available to teach yourself the most current programs.
• Some companies use specific temporary agencies exclusively to screen applicants - ask the temporary agencies for a list of major customers.
• Getting a job (even if it is temporary), and getting a paycheck – while working, you can still be involved in job hunting activities.
