Being a Temp Can Give You Freedom

 Find Work Through Temporary Agencies (1)

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.

Coping With A Job You Hate

Everyone at one time or another find themselves at a job they hate, but can not leave. Either it is a bad time to leave or you have contractual obligations. i.e.: they paid for your education or you took out a 401k hardship loan.

You could be angry and make everyone else angry but let’s not. Instead find a way of diversion from thinking of this place you want to leave but can’t. A few coping exercises can help you make the best of a bad situation.

Find options to avoid the misery of staying at a job that is not the best fit. Keep yourself and those around you in good spirits; although this may take some practice. Search for the right distraction or muse to keep yourself at least somewhat satisfied.

• A unique special something - Find an item or some peculiar whatever... and leave it at the job. Therefore, you only see that special item while you are at the workplace. Look for an interesting place near your job to visit during lunch breaks. Is there a special coffeehouse? Nice store or park you can look at to rejuvenate during the week.

• Switch-up environment – Park in a different spot for a change in scenery and walk around spots that make you smile or relax. Find other people to hang out with; someone you think is interesting but haven’t made that friendly gesture yet.

• Do something - Look into transferring to a different department or position. Make sure it is a good change for you; snoop around and find out about the atmosphere and people. Do some research about wage information; money should not be a surprise.

• Get some class – Most large companies offer computer, human relations or other classes for free to employees. Take a few classes to learn a new skill or meet new people. If the company pays for college classes, then go for it but don’t forget the fine print. You may need to retain employment upon the company paying for education.
