A temporary agency may have a standard set of tests to judge the competence of the secretarial or clerical skills of an applicant. An applicant is hired based on their scores on these tests, and is placed into a database.

Most of my experience has been with a temporary agency, and the longest temp job has only run about 5 months, with several of them only running about 2-3 weeks.

Those interested in doing secretarial work on a temporary basis may seek assignments through a temporary agency. These agencies provide companies with administrative workers on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

Previously temps were mostly administrative, but job-seekers can now find temping agencies covering most professions. Temping is great for building resume, learning skills, networking -- and job flexibility and variety. See also Temporary Agency.
