Executive Temping

"The temporary employment business has changed from just being able to send out secretaries and factory workers to being a staffing service that provides professional, executive, and administrative help."

"The staffing industry has evolved from sending only factory workers and secretaries to placing people who have sophisticated professional technical skills."

"Pay for the skills of professional technical temps depends on what the demand is for the skill."

"In the area of information technology, temping is all about supply and demand."

"Those who know how to set up books, prepare taxes, audit, and especially combine these skills with computer knowledge will be in the catbird seat or potentially be able to write their own ticket when it comes to being a successful professional temp."

"The temp staff can include anyone from the receptionist to the hospital administrator and from the physician's assistant to the doctor."

"Due to a shortage of engineers in almost every region of the country, employers and recruiters are seeking specialists in nearly all areas of engineering and architecture."

"Law firms and legal organizations increasingly use both paralegals and attorneys as legal temps in many areas."

"Now that you have decided to take advantage of the opportunities available to a temporary professional, executive, or technical employee, how do you go about choosing which staffing service or services you will work for?"

"There are two ways staffing services get temp jobs to offer you."

"If you change temp jobs every week, you will have to go through the same process every week that someone who changes full-time jobs may go through every few years."

"What if you are in a job where everything is legal, but you just do not like the job? How can you get out of that job and move to one you will like?"

"Temps no longer have to subvert their present employer or engage in subterfuge when seeking to transfer from temp work to permanent work."
