On the job boards.
“Having said that, it can be better than nothing, and at many places these days, you’re hired as a ‘temp’ so they can try you out, as it’s an opportunity to get your ‘foot in the door’. If you’re skilled and fit in, much of the time, they’ll hire you on with the company.”
That’s not always true. What is sometimes true though is that the “hope” of being hired direct after a period of Temp status is nothing but incentive to take the job as a Temp. The client company only needs the Temp to help with a temporary increase in workload. After that the client company says good-bye and they are back to business as usual until the next temporary increase in workload. If you were a good Temp, the client company may have you back...as a Temp.
