You do what you otherwise would have done. It's just that it is temporary. You go to work, you do your job, and then you go home.
Some larger organizations might even offer you a flexible time scheme, i.e. you have to work for a fixed number of hours each week, which is quite handy at times.
There are a number of advantages and disadvantages to temp jobs though:
Advantages of temp jobs
Valuable experience of working in different areas of business.
No long-term commitment to one company.
Usually get flexible hours.
Getting temp jobs becomes easy after you have established yourself to the temp agency with a few temp jobs
You get to meet different kinds of people.
If you get a temp job after graduating, you can impress lots of people with your skills!
If you do impress lots of people, one of them might offer a decent permanent job.
Not a bad wage
Disadvantages of temp jobs
No job security.
Might be looked down upon in some larger companies because of your temp status,
No sick pay. If you're only off a couple of days with a cold or something, you don't get paid for those days.
No benefits package. No holidays.
You may have gaps in employment on a regular basis.
Mostly dull and unchallenging work. Although if you make an effort to ask for more, even the most dull job can be a good learning experience.
You can get fired without any notice at all. You have very little employee rights as a temp.
Recruitment Agencies are unlikely to find you permanent work if you are on a temp job through them
You will get the feeling, time and time again, that you can do your managers job better than he or she can.
What started out as an attempt at getting experience may turn, without warning, into a career. Continue striving towards your ideal job, or you'll be a temp forever!
At the end of the day it's a mixed bag!
The obvious advantage is for those who haven't got the experience they need to do what they want. You use temp jobs to boost your resume as in get the experience, get the skills, get the references.
Temp jobs can start people off in their career and can be good for those who want flexible hours. You really have to make your own mind up though.
