At CSB, we really encourage our students to work with staffing/temp agencies because they can 1) get positions that sometimes turn into something permanent (esp. if they do a great job) 2) build a larger network of professional acquaintances and 3) build positive work experience, something that is incredibly important in today’s job market. This last point, building relevant work experience, is quite important, particularly given the tight job market and the desire that employers have for experience. You've got to get it somewhere.
Working with a personnel or temp agency might just be the ticket to a full-time job! You never know until you try it...so what have you got to lose? At the very least it will be another positive move you can make for your career, and it's certainly better than just sitting around doing nothing. If nothing else, take heart in knowing that we've had quite a few students start their jobs this way!
Give it a try! Who knows where it can lead!
