Introduction to Temping Agencies

Temping agencies are companies looking to give you a temporary job it can last from one day to even some few months its all depends on the job. Many recruitment agencies offer temporary jobs but never expect good pay on them at all its usually around 5 pound plus something a hour for most of the jobs.

Any Benefits?
If you have never worked before or hardly worked its a good chance to gain some good experience. You can also benefit by adding jobs worked as a temp on your CV for some people this can be handy.

* My Personal Experience *
I worked as a temp a little over a year ago and found it be alright. Depending on which recruitment agency you register with the chances are you can get a job. In fact being a temporary worker has a big benefit with in the company you work for.

I worked as a temporary worker at a call centre for a few months and then became permanent. On the other hand I must say my recruitment agency was never friendly on sorting things out for me. They can be a pain temp agencies by demanding you do everything on time.

Each day I used to get harassed with phone calls at lunch and the end of the day. The calls were about "how is it going", " how you finding it"! I guess once a week call would not be bad but not everyday. The biggest advantage working for a temp agency is simple if you do not like the job they put you in do not have to put much effort! At the end of the day you are a temp remember!

Summary: Rather be a PERM! (Permanent)
