Look in yellow pages: select eight close together near your home geographic area. Make up a resume to leave - plus easy notes - visit two one morning; two in afternoon - fill out their application and leave them one resume. Take their easy test. Tell them you will go on any assignment for one or more days and that you are registering with eight - the goal is to work and gain experience. Be well dressed with a great attitude for temping agencies and all assignments. Make an `organization’ book listing agencies and jobs that you go on. Each assignment get: address, directions, contact name - take sack lunch/snacks and notebook. Arrive 30 minutes early - park closest by exit so you remember your car easily. Draw schematic of where you are going - place of operation - rest rooms - contact, etc. Use organizational book to make notes on everything (you may be called back) - get names of bosses, employees. Make notes on anything new you learn or machines to operate. At break/lunch time - ask peers to show you new equipment - how to use and what to do. They will not be threatened because you are a temp. If you finish your assignment, volunteer to help others - clean their restroom - do something, anything. Keep a journal with you - write in it - keep busy/look important. The day before your assignment is to finish, call agency that placed you - if they don’t have a next assignment, call the seven others with your number. Tell them you need immediate placement. When job is completed, write thank you note to agency with any updated information of new knowledge that you have learned and write thank you note to company mentioning names of their staff who helped you and any positive work suggestions you may have that will improve their productivity. On the rare occasion that you get up and do not have an assignment, get dressed and ready to go - call the agencies one by one and tell them you are ready to go. If on a job site, you fall in love with a company, see if you can `create’ a job for you and submit a proposal after your contract time with temping agency is over. The policy is if an employer wants to hire someone who came in from a temping agency, there is a kick-back to them if hiring is done within a three month period - read the fine print! If they can’t wait, tell them you will pay the fee. Temping normally pays on a scale from `less’ to `higher’ skills - the more you know, the higher the pay, the better the placement. But go on any job that is offered. Save your notes: don’t waste a moment for a chance to learn. Take classes every year - upgrade skills. If you decide to accept full-time employment, see if they sponsor free tuition for classes and then enroll - update your vita/resume - keep asking others to teach/help. Although temping agencies pay less and there are no medical benefits, vacations, or retirement plans, the advantages are enormous for training opportunities and inside looks at companies that you may be drawn too. It is exciting to go into new places of business - meet new people - and earn money too. Think of it as paid schooling. Another positive factor - you can choose when or not to work - company to go too. And when you are registered with nation wide agencies and you relocate - your file is still on reserve to immediately work. Make yourself stand out - you have special talents - you are needed - work each company as if it was your own place of business - help them as they help you. Become a patron of the library - read, read, read to increase your skills - to improve yourself and job. NETWORK PRAY + PRAY + PRAY ASK KITH & KIN TO PRAY FOR YOU +++
