T Is For… Temp Work!
Temp work is a good way to learn the world of work without committing to a particular company. Temporary agencies are used by companies of all sizes, from small single proprietorships to multi-national corporations. You can spend your time learning the culture of the company to see if it fits with your goals and personality, and learn a lot about adaptive job skills in the process.
As a temp, I’ve done work in a declassified vault, filing documents; photographed graves for genealogical research; and lots and lots of copying of documents. I can unjam copiers, fax machines, and printers; and put toners in all of them. I’ve worked on all sorts of networks. I’ve dealt with many different personality types and demographical groups.
