Im working for a temp agency and been a temp for almost one year. Should I look for a new job?

Answer 1

You've gotten enough experience in various settings, I'd say go for it. You're not getting paid enough when you temp, especially without benefits (which is why companies keep temps for so long--they don't have to pay benefits).

If there's one particular place you work that you enjoy, and they seem to like you, you might nose around to see if they would be interested in hiring you. Remember they need to pay a fee to the temp agency to do that, so they'd have to really like you.

Answer 2

Temping can be acceptable. After a bit the temp agency starts to offer health insurance. People generally are nicer to temps, and having different jobs can be a plus.

When I temped I took a job for a few days, had a few off, took another job for a bit, and so on. It paid rent. And I liked it.

Answer 3

IF you like doing temp work, then no. It may suit you to "switch" jobs more frequently than most. And, as I understand it, most temp agencies offer benefits after you have worked a minimum number of hours. If you find yourself at a company you really like, make yourself invaluable and you will have yourself a permanent job. Good luck!

Answer 4

Depends, do you like the job? Is there a promise of a future? What is your potential there if you stay?
Just remember, whatever choice you make, jobs are tight out there.

Answer 5

Do you like and want the job? Ask what the estimated time is of you getting hired or will they ever hire full time at all.

Answer 6

Talk to the company boss that you actually do the work for, they may hire you on as one of their own.

Answer 7

are you happy doing what you are doing? do you have
a future? what are your alternatives?
