Specific Examples for Showcasing Temporary Employment On a Resume

The format below is one option for successfully presenting Temp Employment on a well constructed resume. Temporary employment is real employment and can gain the job candidate favor with hiring officers, if presented well.

If an individual 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 like a "mini resume" inside the experience section and include. Example:

Name of Temporary Agency. City. State. Dates of Employment.

• General Accomplishments.

ASSIGNMENTS

• Name of Company. Job Title.

Accomplishments.

• Name of Company. Job Title.

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 agencies and only one assignment 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, as follows:

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
