OK so if you are looking for a new
job, waiting to start your new job, or simply need a bit of quick
cash, then Temping is a good option.
Your first step is to register with
Recruitment Agencies. Recruitment Agencies are obviously local to
your area. The best way to find them is through our search engine
below or through the good old Yellow
Pages.
Once you have contacted the Agencies
you will have to go in and Register. Dress smartly as their impression
of you is passed on to the Companies and will be considered when
you are offered positions. The Agency will require a copy of your
CV. They may get you to carry
out an aptitude test to assess your computer Skills, but do not
worry this is only a guideline test.
It is a good idea to apply to as many
Agencies as you can. Some Companies only apply to certain Agencies
so the more agencies you apply to the more Companies you are open
to. Don't forget that the Agencies make their money out of your
job so make sure it is something you are happy with, and you are
getting paid the right amount. The Company where you will actually
spend the day will pay your Recruitment agency an hourly rate; your
Agency will then in turn pay you an hourly rate, which can be far
less than what they are paid. So in short you are actually
an employee of the Recruitment Agency.
IMPORTANT: Having registered you will
soon be offered jobs to suit your needs, and abilities. But remember
Temping is a TEMPORARY position. You should not get too settled
in the job. Once you have started the work the recruitment Agencies
have their source of income, and they will happily just let you
carry on working and earning them easy money. Keep looking for a
permanent career job. If you do like your temping job then why not
ask the company where you're working to take you on Full Time. It
will not only give you more security but will also cut out the middle
man and perhaps earn you more money!
