How do I list a temp job on my resume?
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2012 1:12 am
I temped for 6 months before finding a permanent position. It was for a big staffing agency that everyone's heard of, and I was assigned to two very similar projects one after the other. I'm thinking of putting it as one job, listing the staffing agency as my employer, and using a kind of generic title with (contract) or (temporary) next to that. I don't think I ever had an official title but I can describe it pretty accurately without any embellishment. Is that ok or is there a better way to do it?
Also, it's better to have a temp job than a gap on there right? I graduated at beginning of the the recession and had a job offer rescinded, so I'm hoping firms understand.
EDIT: I'm a 1L, this is pre law school employment.
