Every person has varying employment needs. For example, you
may decide to make a full-time career change to a different
type of job.
Or you may wish to only work temporarily to earn extra
money for the Christmas season. Perhaps you feel bored
doing the same thing every day and have many marketable
skills.
If your goal is short-term employment for any reason, a
temporary employment agency provides the perfect
opportunity you need to earn money while not being tied to
the same job.
A temporary employment agency's specialty is assisting
employers in finding skilled personnel for a non-permanent
job.
There are many reasons why a job position may be temporary,
such as an unforeseen staff shortage when an employee
becomes ill, personnel's maternity or paternity leave, a
staff member's "call up" to temporary military duty,
personnel's emergency family circumstances, and staff
members who take a leave of absence to acquire additional
job skills.
In any of these circumstances, a temporary employment
agency will look to its "temp" files of skilled workers who
can fill in for absent employees.
Most job positions found via a temporary employment agency
are administrative in nature. For example, consider office
management work such as document processing and filing:
without a qualified administration employee who knows how
to write and file legal documents, any firm of attorneys
will grind to a halt within a week!
Medical coders and transcribers of physicians' notes is
another extremely valuable service for hospitals and
clinics. Several times a year, private businesses must
conduct time-consuming inventory procedures.
The more varied experience a "temp" has, the more valuable
he/she becomes in successfully using a temporary employment
agency and becoming one of its strongest assets.
When you register with a temporary employment agency,
you'll need to provide it with all certifications of your
skills, including college, university or technical school
training, certifications establishing your competency in
your specialty, such as medical coding or Office 2007
applications, and performance reports from the temporary
jobs you've performed.
Since temporary jobs can become available at any time,
you'll also need to talk with the agency about your
availability in a workplace crisis situation. Make sure the
agency documents the types of jobs in which you are not
interested, and for how long you will be available to work.
Many temporary employees find that they have a great liking
for their workplace, and some employers are so pleased with
the "temp" that he/she may be offered a permanent position.
Both types of employment have strengths and shortcomings,
and as always, individuals must decide what best suits
their needs.
