University Graduates

if i do temp work, would i be able to get lots of days off to go for interviews for graduate jobs?

am currently looking for a grad job, but my money is running out! cant really take a permanent job to be going on with, because i need days off for interviews! thanks:):)

1. Yah yopu can pick and choose the days you work whenm you are temping. Also if you dont like the job you can walk out without any repercussions.
2. If you get a temp job then you would have to show up for the days you are scheduled. I would suggest getting a part time temp job where you only work a few days a week so that you can interview on your days off.
3. I wouldn't say lots of days but they do their best to accomodate it. Or go for short term temp jobs of say a week that gives you time ot arrange the interviews for when you are not working.
4. Yeah! I'm currently temping. It's quite flexible. You can have days/half days off when you like, and you don't usually have to give much notice. But you won't get paid for htem though, so you have to balance the money against the importance of the time off. Also, most agencies allow you to build up holiday time so you might be able to use that too. Good luck with it all!
5. why dont you do what most other people do...tell the employer the truth and see if they will interview nights and or weekends. your not the first person in that situation.
6. yes, employees of temp staff are realistic enough to know that people will want to look for permanent work and need the occasional day off for interviews (especially graduates).
7. Temp jobs you get paid for the days you work. So you could choose to work when you want and take as many days off as you like.
