It is very difficult to find jobs right now because companies are downsizing due to lower than normal profits. Although the economy is rebounding to some degree, it will take longer for corporations and retail businesses to have the confidence to expand their workforce.
One of the very best ways to find jobs has always been to work as a temporary for a temporary agency. Particularly right now, as the economy is improving, there is work to be done, and only skeleton crews who have survived job layoffs and workforce reduction.
A business would prefer to hire a temporary worker because they do not have to pay employee benefits such as medical insurance and pensions. This saves the company millions of dollars in the first place.
Additionally, they do not have to anticipate the possibility of another downsizing campaign where they will have to pay severance pay and unemployment benefits. Temporary workers have a contract, that is either delimited or open-ended - for example for '2-weeks' or 'indefinite', that could last for a year or more!
With that said, working as a temporary has always been a great way to find jobs even without a recession. The reasons being that often the very job that you are being asked to fill temporarily is a position that they are or will advertise to fill in the near future.
If you are doing a good job and fit in with the culture at the company, you may be invited to apply for the position. In fact this works great for them in that they can often save the cost of advertising and they have already seen your work habits and personality, unlike an applicant off the street.
As well, you will be privy to other positions that are or become available in that company, sometimes before they are even advertised. The power of networking plays well here, as you are known at least somewhat by people in the company who can speak well of you. Nothing better than an internal reference that includes proven skills.
