Laughing all the Way to Work

MAY 26, 2008

I was out of work, temping here and there for a year. Don’t underestimate the value of temping. Working for a temp agency can either land you a full-time job or help to keep you employed while you are looking. Taking on temp jobs will introduce you to potential employers where you can showcase your abilities.

  While everyone focuses on the lower cost of contingent workers, we believe the increased business flexibility they provide is at least an equally important driver.    The CNN article focuses on the growing use of temps.    These are folks who turn to self-employment because they can't find a job.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

I have heard of EAs working for successful international corporations and earning a very large salary. You care less, you’re easily annoyed, you start to do a cost-benefit analysis, you feel resentful, and you feel short changed. This is one of the main reasons why I endorse temping and working thru recruiting and placement agencies.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

After only 2 weeks, I found a great company through a staffing agency and the position was full time working for a wonderful CEO. The staffing agent asked if I was open to temp to perm, even though the position was for a full time EA, he feels the CEO may need time to see if it is a good fit. How long do you think is fair?
