Every week 1.4 million temporary workers are keeping business in the UK moving. The Recruitment Industry impacts on every sector of the UK economy and virtually every aspect of life – from education to nursing and elderly-care through to engineering, driving, industrial workers and everything in between.

With attitudes to work changing and variety and flexibility increasingly seen as key indicators of job satisfaction 'temping' is becoming the choice of more and more workers.

Flexible working is becoming a more prominent feature of corporate life.

The temporary market has more than tripled in size in the last decade and the perception that temporary work is second best is rapidly decreasing. Nowadays, many people temp because they want to, not because they have to.

Temporary working allows you access to a huge variety of careers and employers. It can give you more control over your career than a permanent job - good temps are able to sell their services to the highest bidder. You're paid on an hourly basis so you're likely to be better off than your peers in permanent positions, and you won't necessarily have to work a standard 40-hour week. Temping also allows you to learn new skills and gain experience in many different working environments.

Temping is not just a way of grouting the cracks in your CV. It's an ideal way to find out what sort of company you want to work for and the type of job you want to do - which might not be obvious from an hour-long interview and a tour of the office coffee machines. Remember, it's far easier to get a job if you're already in work. You might even end up working in a field that you haven't contemplated before!
