We all know that the economy out there is not so great right now. Temping or Contracting at a job can be a little draining at best sometimes, but it is a job. A paying check that gets you or your family through the week.
Don't just do your job, see if you can help other departments. The company will appreciate it, and you will look like a star.
If you know of someone that is still looking for work, check with your agency and see if you can refer them. I know some agencies will pay you (yes you) if that person that you referred gets a temping job.
Call every day or every other day to check in with the agency too. Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the job.
Keeping your temp gig may not be your ideal thing, but that's the great thing about temping...you can figure out what you really want to do and still keep the temp gig.
