Agencies Phones Retirement Temping 
Laughing all the Way to Work
JUNE 7, 2008
I temped here and there for a year. Finally, I got a job interview through the temp agency for a one-year contract. I finally got a phone call to say they wanted to hire me and could I start in a few weeks? A few days ago I went to this man’s retirement party and there were a lot of nice things said about him.

Besides having a checking, retirement account, and a rainy day fund, you should also have a huge savings account of 6 months to a year or more of living funds.

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?

This quickly led into a change of career and I became a recruitment consultant working for high street agencies. A move to London happened around 1996 and my first role as a PA for the Director of Human Resources for a recruitment agency. A fabulous role which I loved.
