Great Info for Career Transitioning

So What is Temping?

  • Temporary jobs fulfill a need for employers – vacation/maternity, production cycles, special projects
  • They can last from a few weeks to months
  • Temp jobs may be considered consulting
  • Temporary jobs often turn in to permanent employment
  • Temporary/consulting jobs aren’t just for unskilled labor - accountants, engineers, healthcare professionals
      
  • Employers need flexibility of employees
  • Employers like to “try out” potential employees – and – potential employees have the chance to “try out” an employer

Why would I choose to work as a temp?

  • Graduate – try different jobs before making career path decisions – a great way to learn what options there are
  • Mom re-entering workforce – maintain a flexible schedule
  • Unemployed – maintain an income while looking for something permanent, fill employment gaps, gain experience and show your willing to “do what it takes”
  • Others – fits well with their lifestyle – earn extra income/something to do
