I think what you should do is, first apply to the temp service, see what they have available and then give notice. Talk to the staffing manager at the temp service and explain that what your needs are; looking for something better, looking for a temp to hire position.
Hope this helps and good luck to you :-)

Temping can be an interesting option. You are often filling in for employees on leave, or where they are uncertain about the future of the position or sometimes, they use temps because they want to try someone before they offer them a job.
Most people I have met doing temping has enjoyed the work. Often temp agencies send the best available person, which means you might not be good enough to do the job, but the send you anyway. This is a great learning opportunity and worth doing.
Life is risk and fortune favours the brave. But be aware temping means you might spend several years doing horrible jobs with no certainty of future or income, and in an economic downturn you might find yourself without any work at all.

It is legal to have a temp employee for many years. Follow up with the supervisor who expressed the interest. Ask about employment opportunities. Ask how one becomes an employee. Be sure to read the contract you have with your temp service. You may owe a fee if you become an employee of that company. And it would be wise to back off the CAPS LOCK key when completing the application. In some places, that would be an automatic "NO" for an application.

No benefits is the first minus I think of- plus people use temp agencies for the projects no one else wants to do.
Can be great to get in the company you want, but risky in the long run.

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a real gamble to do that. You don't have benefits, you don't get paid for holidays if the business you work for is closed for the holiday, you can lose your job without any prior notice, you can jump from job to job (which looks HORRIBLE on a resume), you can wind up with a worse job than you have now, you may make less money, the people at the business you work at will treat you differently, you have no guarantee that it will lead to something permanent.... no my dear, the risk is not worth the (not even definite) reward. Stay where you are at. You are lucky to be employed.

temp agencies are great, but be sure that you accept the potential loss of income, advancement, seniority, benefits (including retirement) from your current employer. talk to your boss about your discontent and see if there are other opening within the company that you may be qualified for.

you are not always guaranteed a good job or a job that last long. If you need an income coming in I wouldn't leave your job.
