Temporary Work

With more than 10,000 temporary employment offices around the country, these agencies provide individual workers and services to thousands of businesses every day. With the cost of employee benefits rising dramatically in the last few years, employers have become far more interested in the temporary worker.

This is a great place to catch on with for a while as you're learning a new field. You're paid by the temporary service and you may work at a job for one day, one week or one month or longer. It all depends on the job and the amount of work associated with it. You may be just helping a company get a big mailing program done. Or you may come in to help with office duties due to extended illnesses or vacations. It may be a temporary overload situation that needs workers.

Some of the temporary agencies specialize; others are more general and recruit all types of workers. You don't have to be tied down to a regular job. You don't have the pressure normally associated with full-time work. You can work locally or you can sign way to travel for free and earn money at the same time!

If you've made up your mind to move to a new location, but don't yet have a job, the temporary agency may be the place for you to start while you're looking or working on your education. Don't overlook the value of a temporary agency.


Small Business Assistance Centers

Your dream may be to start your own business. All of the indications from the tests you've taken point to a specific career. You don't want to work for anyone. You believe you have the determination and desire to succeed. All you need is to know where and how to get started.

There are ample opportunities for both personal and financial assistance from the Small Business
Administration. A new loan program called the "Low Documentation" plan has a simplified procedure for applying for $50,000 or less in SBA loans to get that venture off the ground. These loans are now often underwritten by large banks as well as some of the traditional small banks the SBA has long favored.

The following is a list of starting places by state to contact to discuss launching your own business. If this has long been your dream -- and you have the idea and the ambition to make it happen -- there has never been a better time to go into business for yourself. Good luck!
