According to Sharon Pierce, Human Resources recruiter of Manpower Inc., temporary assignments aren't limited to office positions. There is a broad range of options. Temporary employees are usually paid on a weekly basis, and pay rates are very competitive. The rate of pay an employee receives is based on the type of position in which they work and the amount of experience they have. Light industrial positions pay slightly higher wages.
Temporary positions can last anywhere from one day to permanent positions.
Many temporary employees find permanent positions at their assignments. We have employees at Pepsi, Alamo and American Airlines, to name a few. If students want more information on temporary employment, there are many temporary-staffing agencies in the area.
