Professional 'temps' for hire

Article Abstract:

The National Association of Temporary and Staffing Services has reported that women comprise about 72% of temporary workers in the US. The industry is experiencing a boom in demand for temporary employee placement due to factors such as corporate downsizing. Temporary workers enjoy greater job flexibility while aiding firms in minimizing expenses such as health, taxes, and compensation. Several employment agencies that specialize in temporary services such as MacStaffers, AccountExecs, and System One have emerged as result of the demand of employers.

Business skills: getting the right mix

Article Abstract:

The concept of job security has radically changed in the 1990s as the business environment is faced with the factors of corporate downsizing, outsourcing, and reengineering. Job security is best thought of as an individual's ability to acquire jobs by constantly increasing his or her value through learning new skills. Employees must be able to adapt to changes in technology and keep abreast of trends in global business. Skills that must be improved include teamwork, communication, financial management, and financial acumen.

Making the right moves

Article Abstract:

The dynamic work environment of the 1990s, characterized by downsizing, outsourcing, and corporate reengineering, has necessitated career changes for continued development. Job changers are no longer looked down upon as unmotivated individuals but as eager and dynamic workers with new ideas. Consultants advise potential job jumpers to evaluate their present careers in terms of fulfillment, learning, and development to test if a career change is in order.
