Directory of National Temporary Employment Resources

By Laura Dawn Lewis
Excerpt from Laid Off Now What: Volume One: Thriving Financially through Unemployment.

Looking for Temporary work?
Always state that you are temp-to-hire and really want the job full-time.

You need money and if you tell the truth that you are temporary, in most cases you get passed over. Drill this idea into your head if you are feeling skittish or guilty. The fact is if you are an employee, you are expendable. Businesses have no problem letting you go without notice. When was the last time you received 2-weeks notice that you would be laid off or fired? This is why employers insist on at-will employment contracts. Too many unemployed people worry about angering a business if they leave after a few months for a better opportunity. You are responsible for yourself and your family. The business is responsible for itself and its objectives. Focus your strategy on the responsibilities that will enable you to succeed first.

The following contains information on several temporary employment agencies.
