Temp Work

Temp [temporary] work is usually your typical 9-5 office job.

You can work one day, two days, or a week at a time, it all depends upon the assignment.

I’ve spent a full day filing files, stuffing envelopes, answering phones, or making travel arrangements for executives. There are a variety of temp jobs for a variety of different skill levels. It is perfectly fine if you have never even stepped into an office, as long as you have the right attitude, and a neat, clean appearance, there’s a temp job for you.

Office jobs typically don’t allow you to pop out for an audition, so I only book temp work when I know I won’t have an audition that day – or when I book a gig and I have a few weeks before it starts.

It’s a great way to get some experience on your resume if you ever want to go into the business world at a later date – and a great way to get a peek into the business world, if you want to see if it’s right for you.

Check out my blog post for my top tips on interviewing for a temp job.

Regina and I met while working at North Shore Music Theatre and now she's excelling in another career - recruiter. So, when I started my podcast, she was one of the first people I interviewed. Check out “Temp Talk with Regina Gatti” on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts. It’s a great episode and she gives a lot of great information about temping.
