TEMP.tation: An Introduction to Busyness Management

by Mark Steele, Mark Steele (Illustrator)

TEMP.tation is a concise, humorous book about "temping" that offers important tips to humanize a profession which often treats workers as if they aren't quite real people. It offers warm reassurances to those people who have no work experience at all, as well as to those reentering the workforce who may be intimated by their lack of computer skills. It shows how to turn now-and-then assignments into a permanent career and provides a helping helping of hilarious work-related anecdotes.
