Being a Temp Can Give You Freedom



Have you ever wanted to live the casual but gainfully employed life that is seen on television or movies? Well, I did it and it’s one of the best working experiences of my life. I would work a month or two full-time (with overtime) then I would take a week or two off. I certainly am not a bigwig or own a company, but a worker who values their time. The information below is how I created a work when you want system.

I used temporary staffing agencies to work when I wanted. The key to doing this successfully is persistence, do not slip or it could workout badly for you. The following information can be used for anyone who uses staffing agencies.  

    Throw a wide net. If physical conditions are not a problem, then register for  warehouse and clerical positions. Light industrial work includes labeling boxes and other factory type work; therefore, keep that door of options open. Those who cannot type or lack computer experience, but can count and read will find file room jobs easily.



Time is on your side. List all times that you can be consistently at work, including weekends and all shifts. The goal for temporary work is to work hard for a few months  and then take time off. Anyone can work hard for a short period, but the long durations bring burnout. The more available you are increases the likeliness to find many work opportunities.

No location limits. Consider all areas of your metropolis for work; do not put limits on just particular side of town. If you use public transportation, then know the routes before accepting an assignment. Those living in small towns might consider looking for work in the neighboring city.

Be a job whore. Enroll at various employment agencies to find as many jobs as you can. The registration is conducted at the agency, after that it’s all telephone communication from there. Consider going to an agency out of your way if they are known for placing many employees. Keep in touch with agencies and let them know your availability status.

Leave an impression. The key when signing up with a new company is to stand out from the crowd. Arrive early wearing professional clothing (warehouse work included), smile and use good grammar. Always appear eager to work and bring a resume along with past employer information and references. Prepare yourself for answering the most common interview questions.

   Ace the test. Assessments are what agencies use to figure out your skills. Prepare ahead of time for alpha-numeric typing and filing. Brush up on simple math concepts such as subtraction, addition, multiplication and division. The goal is accuracy along with speed.


Stay clean. Drug testing is common practice for staffing agencies. Be upfront about not being able to pass a test, no one likes wasting their time. There are products that advertise they beat the test, but why bother. Be realistic about your own situation.
