You make your own security based on your job knowledge and how well you perform. With that, you can market your talents as a full-time employee or as a temporary. In years past, working as a temporary had some implications that there was something wrong with you. Today, it's a growth industry with no signs of slowing down. People's life-styles have changed as well as expectations of work.
Companies constantly shift gears as global competition encourages change.
This allows flexibility to adjust to changing workforce needs as business conditions rise and fall. That is, some portion of an employee's work is done at home for one or more days per week. Telecommuting is very popular and that allows a temporary person, in some cases, to work from home and not deal with the hassles of commuting or having to get day-care services for young kids. With the new Welfare Reforms coming down the pipe, we have a tremendous opportunity to get people trained in popular skills and get them into a job quickly. Temporary agencies have the training and the jobs and the benefits.
