Temporary Employment Agencies
Temporary agencies specialize in placing employees at companies looking for temporary help. A temporary assignment can vary from a few weeks to a few months. As a temporary employee you work for and are paid by the agency but you are placed at client sites.
Why should I use a temporary agency?
Temporary agencies are useful when looking for work during summer or winter breaks. You may be able to use them for part time work while taking classes as well. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you can use temporary agencies as a means to explore different industries or get inside a company to learn how it really works. You will also be able to make contacts and network within a specific industry. If you are searching for an internship in your hometown, it’s a great way to get your foot in the door! However, temporary agencies are not your only source. See a Career Counselor for a strategy customized to you.
