At this moment it’s not only hard to find a full-time employment finding a temporary job as well. For me it’s also hard to find a temporary job that fits my education(s). Most companies here offering just temporary work.

I think it’s because I said to the agency that I will do any job that they call me that often and that I work for a couple of very different companies at the moment.

Yes, I think as a temporary employee you work harder. In the end it’s my good reputation that this companies asking me to come over and over again. I see many people who come one or two days or weeks and never be hired again.

None of the jobs I do at this moment is something I would like to do until my retirement. No I want to start a own business again and work until I die because the fun of it.

Thank you for your comment and the corrections.

I agree with you that the worst thing – possibly the only Con – is the not knowing when you are next going to get paid work. Which makes the fact that when one a temporary job does crop up one gets quite thrilled at the prospect, and a ‘feel good’ feeling. Many people with permanent jobs get to the stage where they dread getting up in the morning to go to the job they’ve been doing for so long because it has bcome boring for them. Personally, I have never experienced this feeling called “boredom”. I stay busy, always finding something to do. And if a book or film is not taking my interest, then I switch off.

Back to temporary work… in this day and age many people do now only work temporary, also because of their other commitments and responsibilities, and their lifestyle. One can actually get paid more money by ‘temping’, and one can gain a good reputation because one has to try harder to impress and get more quality work done. And most times, the work is varied.

Another plus point with temporary work is that you have time to supplement this kind of work by, say, also working from home.

For older people temporary work is a good thing because it supplements their pensons. For younger people this type of work is a good thing because it gives youngsters a chance to find their niche by trying out various jobs.

And the good thing – for everyone who wants this – is that temporary work can lead to permanent full-time employment in a job which one likes doing.
