By LINDA SALSER Ol th* Emerald Temporary employment offers students flexible hours and work at various jobs, but consider the pros and cons before counting on the extra money. The big advantage is quick money. While most permanent jobs pay twice a month at the most, temporary employment agencies pay their employees weekly or daily. Despite the quick pay, students working for temporary agencies forfeit insurance and medical benefits. Students can earn a monthly bonus for working a certain number of hours per month or referring employees who also work a certain number of hours to the agency. Not all Eugene agencies need benefits to attract help because workers flood the local market. Another point for job-hungry students to weigh is that tem porary employment simplifies the job-hunting process. In stead of contacting numerous employers, the student need only contact the temporary agency. University student Patricia Mullarkey capitalizes on the flexibility temporary work offers by calling temporary agencies when she moves to a new town. “I worked temporary jobs in Phoenix, Champagne, Portland and Eugene until I obtained per manent jobs. But I had to wait a week and a half just to get an appointment with an agency in Eugene," Mullarkey says. I Western Temporary Services manager Dave Oakes says tem porary employees often work with total strangers in a foreign environment. “People are evaluating your performance, attendance, ap pearance and attitude,” Oakes says. But some people like the in stabilty of temporary jobs, he adds. "I held a different job every week for about 12 weeks,” says Barbara Hollens. “It became routine to go to different places, to meet people." Hollens says she enjoys the variety — last summer her work places included a bank, a ho spital, an insurance company, a real estate office and a govern ment agency. “I got a sense of what it's like to work in different businesses. One day I was in a grimy parts shop and the next in a plush corporate office,” Hollens says. Most temporary workers hold clerical and manual labor jobs. I Emerald graphic When considering temporary employment, remember the fol lowing: • Sign up for an interview ap pointment well before a job is needed. • Make preferences about temporary employment clear If you want to make quick money, say so. • Maximize the chance of obtaining work by contacting several agencies. Each agency has different clients — and dif ferent jobs. • If you want to improve skills, many of the agencies have text books that can be borrowed and equipment that can be used • If the the agency doesn’t call, call the agency.
