Organizing the Information

Below is one option for successfully presenting Temp Employment on a well contructed resume.

If an individuals has worked for a single Temporary Employment Agency or Staffing Service for several years, then the form of the presentation can be added to the PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE section of the resume as if it were a single company with several job titles worked. Thus, such as presentation would be klike a "mini resume" inside the experience section and include.

NAME OF TEMP AGENCY. City. State. Dates of Employment.

  • General Accomplishments.

ASSIGNMENTS

  • Name of Company. Job Title.

  1. Accomplishments.

  • Name of Company. Job Title.

Consider Temp Employment


Multiple Temp Agencies

If a a job seeker has worked with more than one temporary employment organization, then the format of the single-agency presentation will be adjusted to show each temp agency as a separate employer.

If a job seeker has worked at several different agenceis and only one assignemtn at each one, then it may be best to use the first format and instead of using the agency name, use the heading TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT SERVICES under PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE and then list each agency under that heading.

Hi amy jane. Thank you for commenting. I agree - I think the idea of what to do about presenting Temp Work can be confusing and frustrating. I hope people are able to use this information easily now.

I'm glad you visited!

Thank you! I've worked for the same temp agency off and on the past few years. And I'm wanting to update my resume, since I'm going back soon. I added the dates for each service and who was my supervisor there. Do you think that would be ok?

Hi Whitney. Yes, that could be OK; military resumes list supervisors as a general practice and with a Temp section, that might be a good idea as well.
