There are a lot of good reasons to temp... here are just a few:

• Gain exposure to new industries. This is a great way to test the water and find out what your preferences are, especially if you are trying to switch into a new field and need to gain some experience.

• Keep busy until the perfect job comes along.
  

• Keep your schedule flexible. You can take temp assignments when you want, leaving you time when you'd like it the most!

• Network, network, network! You can find out who is hiring, where the employees are the happiest, and meet new people that may be able to help you get a job somewhere else.

• Learn things about the position and company that you never could in an interview.

  And of course...

• It's a great way to earn some extra money!
