To "Temp" or not to "Temp"

I am often asked whether working as a temporary employee looks bad on a resume.  My answer is always the same: all periods of employment look good. Working in a temporary position can also allow you to develop new skills, audition for possible long-term positions within the company, and show future employers that you have a strong work ethic.

If you are having trouble finding a full-time position in your industry of choice, consider working for a temporary agency in areas that will strengthen your primary skill set and teach you additional skills. Experience in the work place is very important to employers and having diverse abilities will make you even more competitive.

Job Search Anxiety

The process of searching for employment can be very stressful. You may be transitioning from the exhiliration of graduating from college to entering the job market, or just searching for a position while still attending school.  The self-imposed pressure of wanting to secure a stable position can take a toll on your mental and physical health.  It is important to be at peak performance as you speak with each employer you meet.  You are making a first impression each interview and you do not want to appear tired, depressed, moody or defeated.

There are some very good articles on The Ladder which address the issue.
