Why work as a temp?
Many people don’t use temp agencies because they either don’t know what temp agencies are or think they should be able to find a job on their own.
Temp agencies are a great resource for simplifying your job search.
They are particularly useful for students, recent grads, people who have just gotten started in their careers, and people who want to change jobs–that is, they can benefit almost anyone.
A temp agency is a company that helps match people seeking work with open positions at companies.
They keep a running list of available positions along with a running list of available workers, and they quite often know about openings that are not known to the general public. When the agency finds a match, you’ll get a phone call telling you about the job and asking if you’re interested.
If you’re currently employed but want to change jobs, it can be difficult to find the time to look around when you’re already working 40+ hours a week. Letting a temp agency do the legwork for you will save you lots of time and energy.
If you’re a college or even high school student, temp agencies can help you find more useful and significantly better paying work than you’ll find at the mall. There are plenty of office jobs out there that don’t require college degrees, and it’s easy to find jobs that will fit with your summer vacation schedule. If you’re new to the work force, whether you’re a student, recent grad, or stay-at-home mom turned empty-nester, temp agencies can help you land a good job despite your limited resume.
No matter what your situation, signing up with a temp agency can be a great way to get your foot in the door at a company you would otherwise not have access to.
