If you are unemployed, one piece of "advice" that you may have received is—"try working with a temp agency—they offer all kinds of fabulous opportunities". This advice often comes from someone who has never worked as a temp in their life. But there is some truth to this statement and temping can be a positive experience to someone between jobs. Through my working career, I have worked as a temp between permanent jobs. There were both good and bad aspects of temp work, but the good far out-weighed the bad. In fact, I landed two permanent jobs through temp work—including my current job. This has turned out to be a "win-win" scenario for both myself and my employer as each of us knew what we were getting. What exactly is "temporary (or temp) work"? In its usual form, temporary work is obtained through signing up with a temporary employment agency. This agency will screen you, test you, and check references. They will negotiate your work assignments and issue your paycheck. You will usually need to have a timecard approved by the employer that is submitted to the agency. The agency, in turn, will invoice the employer for the time you worked. There are many variations of this arrangement in the temporary employment world, but this is the most common.
