If you are ever in a period of transition,when you are not working in your usual career field or if you don't have enough experience to get a permanent job in the area you are interested in working for a temporary employment agency can be a great way to earn money,get more experience,and ry out different kinds of work.
When you temp,the agency sends you to work at client companies for anything from a few hours to a few months.sometimes even longer.The reasons why companies need tempsvary,When small companies are growing quickly,for example,or are developing short-term projects,they don't want to contract permanent staff.And when a staff member is taking maternity leave,emplying a temp is also a good option for the company.
The people who temp,on the other hand,often enjoy it because the routine changes from day to day.There are other advantages.'if you don't know what career field you want to work in ,temping can help you find some answers',says Eliane Facet,who runs a temp age ncy in Montpellier,France.
'As a temp,you might discover some fields you definitely don't want to work in .Not all of our temps have lots of experience.Right now,ten business students from our agency are working in different companies.They are experiencing the things they are learning about at college.They are improving existing skills,and also learning numerous others.'
From her own experience of temping,Eliane says,'After long jobs,I used to send thank-you notes to the supervisors,telling them what I liked about working with them.Whenever I did this,the agency told me how happy the company was with my work,and then gave me better jobs.'
