Temp Work

In the current economic client, more and more people are choosing temp work over permanent employment. Perceptions of temp work have changed enormously in recent years. Once considered to be a "means to and ends", temp work is now the career option of choice for thousands of UK workers. Offering variety and flexibility, not to mention excellent pay rates if you have the requisite range of skills, temp work can bring real job satisfaction.

Assignments available for people looking for temp work can be extremely diverse. Professional recruitment agencies such as Crone Corkill, offer positions that can last from one afternoon to nine months, full time or part time. Opportunities include secretarial/PA temp work, administrative reception cover temp work, foundation level finance admin temp work and data entry temp work. There is an increasing amount of temp work for people with language skills in the City. The Crone Corkill temporaries team are working with more and more leading law firms, so temp work for people with legal experience is more available.

It is essential for anyone considering temp work to be reliable, flexible, willing and able to adapt to different working environments. Temp work could see you working in a corporate blue chip organisation one week, then a small, friendly family-run business the next. However, your recruitment agency will establish what type of environment and level of temp work would be best suited to you

Being successful in temp work when arranged through an agency will come easily if you adopt some standard rules of etiquette such as :

• Being punctual. If you are held up or unable to get to your place of temp work, you should contact your consultant before your start time so they can arrange a replacement if necessary.
• Provide your consultant with your direct line so that they can keep in touch throughout your period of temp work.
• Be respectful of company dress codes. We recommend anyone undertaking temp work to wear smart business attire unless otherwise advised.
• Arrange any personal appointments or interviews outside standard hours during your temp work assignment.
• Out of courtesy; switch off your mobile when engaged in temp work.
• Any use of client telephones, internet, e-mail, faxes, photocopying and franking facilities during your period of temp work are generally not to be used for your own personal use unless authorized by your line manager
• If you need to work overtime or through lunch during the duration of your temp work period, always clear this with your line manager.

Be mindful of a client's Health and Safety Policy and at the end of any temp work, leave handover notes and return your security pass.
