Have you ever considered working for a temporary staffing firm?

It may not be the ideal solution; but, you might want to consider that:

1. depending on your financial situation, a temporary assignment might help pay the bills; and/or,
2. by taking a temporary assignment you have the opportunity to showcase your skills to a company that might be a prospective employer.

Keep in mind that some companies hire temporary or “contract” employees because they have a function that needs to be performed either due to what could be a temporary or possibly longer term increase in business.  But, they may not want to hire a full-time employee until they see which direction the economy is going.  Or, they might not have the approval from corporate management to hire a full-time employee.

By taking a temporary assignment, you might “get your foot in the door” at a company that might eventually decide to convert the position to full-time status.  And, if you are already in the job and doing a really good job you could have an advantage over someone from “outside” the company.

There are a number of companies you might consider investigating when looking into the possibility of doing temporary work.  Two of them are probably names you will recognize.  They include:

• Kelly Services

• Manpower Inc. Worldwide

Both of these company’s web sites have extensive resources where you can search the jobs they have available now.
