What does the temporary category of employment agencies mean? Today, there are a number of employment agencies that cater specifically to offering you temporary work. They are commonly known as temporary or temp employment agencies.
These agencies cater to those who have attained at least a high school qualification or above. Some agencies in the temporary category of employment agencies also offer services those professionals who are seeking part time or short-term employment.
Under the temporary category of employment agencies is labor hire. This term means outsourcing unskilled and skilled blue-collar workers for different temporary jobs. Light industry is where most of them are hired. Many applicants who want to gain skill and experience in jobs like check sorting, parts assembly, welding, Forklift driving and shipping, opt for temporary jobs in these fields.
Medical staffing agency is another example of the specialized jobs that temporary employment agencies offer. They include certified, licensed and skilled medical workers for different health facilities like rehabilitation, hospice and nursing facilities. In these agencies, jobs range from radiologists or general practitioners to even dental assistants.
There are many other agencies with a more limited group of companies and applicants. An example of this is an agency forhiring licensed vocational nurses and certified nursing assistants. Agencies that deal with nurse staffing cater to intensive care or critical care, internal medicine hospitals, family practices and even delivery and labor clinics.
On a broader scale, there are different jobs offered by the temporary employment agencies related to the food and food service industry, and the jobs can range from bus girls/boys, cashiers, hostesses/hosts, food servers and waitress/waiters. White-collar jobs like desk work and clerical work are for technical writers, copy writers, secretaries, encoders and transcription handlers. Maintenance jobs for sanitation personnel, carpenters, window washers, house painters and landscape artists are also offered by these agencies.
These temporary employment agencies offer valuable services when it comes to hiring companies offering skill testing and background checks. Temp agencies even offer a wide array of hobs available to qualified jobseekers when they cannot access postings or job listings.
Although there exist a number of temp agencies country wide whose listings can be found in many websites and phone directories, many temporary employment agencies prefer to conduct a preliminary skill testing and interview. This means that the different applicants will have to personally apply for the jobs and take around an hour of testing.

I was thinking of getting my forklift license and I was wondering, does it take a class 5 license in order to go for it, because I have a class 7 right now (until october), although I am currently 21. I currently have a part-time job for a little bit of extra cash because I am currently on unemployment (the government knows about the money I make) and I was thinking of going for a career in driving a forklift.
Generally you don’t need a drivers license at all, unless you’re operating the Forklift on a public road, or other public space (Fairgrounds, park, mall, airport ramp, etc). At least in BC, you don’t absolutely need a license, although it makes the Workers Compensation Board inspector happy.
You can try contacting somewhere like http://www.atlantictransport.com/, and see what they offer for training, and you might even be able to get unemployment to pay for it. Possibly get them to send you for the forklift and maybe a backhoe operators card as retraining.
Good luck!

I want to edit it I just don’t know how, I don’t know what to add and what to take off. I thought a brief summary of what I have experience in would help but I’m not to sure on that!
Snore….way too long! No more than one paragraph per job. Your resume should ideally fit on one page. Also, I hope that is not your real name and phone number that you have posted! If so, I suggest you remove this question and try again without the personal information.
