You're Not The Boss Of Me

Sometimes being your own boss in the business world is a temporary thing. What I mean by that is that working as a temp can sometimes give you a good perspective at what your strengths and weaknesses are and what direction you wish to either pursue or avoid. I worked as a temp many years ago for about a year. Eventually I came to an office that was a top law firm. They liked my skills and offered me a high-paying position with good benefits, which I took. I ended up not staying that long, but it was something I would have never found had it not been for my temping. If you are currently in a place of no employment or dislike your job so much that you feel the need to leave for your own sanity, consider temping for a period of time to allow you to continue to earn some money while you find a direction. Here is a great article from the Wall Street Journal's Career Journal which gives another view of temping from one woman's perspective as well as some great advice. Just click here .
