Comment on Job Seekers: Understand the Recruiting Process by Toni Vranjes

Hi Joel,

Seeking a temp job through an employment agency potentially could be helpful. If you register with one of these companies, the staff would help you look for work. If you get a temp job, you would gain skills and experience, which would give your resume a boost. Meanwhile, you would meet new people and expand your professional network. And, of course, you would be earning some money. Over time, a temp job could lead to a full-time position at a company. (By the way, you also might be able to land a permanent job through an employment agency.)

After your temp job is over, you could seek other opportunities through the agency. This would give you the chance to explore lots of different jobs, companies and industries.

However, there might not be any temporary positions available in the career field you’re pursuing. Even if there are temp jobs in your field, there’s no guarantee that you’ll actually get any work at all.

If you do land a temp job, there are some disadvantages, including a lack of steady income. There’s also the lack of security that comes with knowing your assignment is temporary. And on top of all that, you might not have any medical benefits. Some people determine that all the paperwork and tests associated with employment agencies aren’t worth the effort.

What’s your opinion about temp agencies in making some quick cash or as an opportunity to a full-time position?
