home / candidates / temporary / Temp Handbook - Your assignment

We will tell you as much as possible about your booking. When we offer the assignment to you please check that we have given you the following details:

• Full name and address of Company
• Your hours of work
• The type of business/service
• Details of the location, any landmarks, etc
• The name of the person you will report to
• The skills required, the equipment you will use
• Your rate of pay
• Length of booking

PLEASE always let us know if something isn't working. Many of the problems which can arise when temping can be solved by a phone call from us to the company.

You can make life easier for yourself by asking questions. ASK to see a sample layout of letters, invoices and reports. ASK if your are not sure who has priority in terms of work. ASK someone to repeat their name if you are unsure. These pointers may help you to become more than 'just a temp', will increase your status and so your enjoyment of the job.

• Ask where the kettle and loo are if you are not shown.
• Introduce yourself by name and not just 'the temp'.
