Before getting permanent job and before having any job experience, people are not aware of their interests. People think of various job positions and various employment companies as their destination and their ideal workplace. But when they are hired at the same place, they find difficulties to adjust at the place.
Under such circumstances, temporary job becomes best way for job seekers to hop from place to place and locate their dream workplace.
Employability alternative of job security:
Yes job security is very important for leading a good and well settled life but it is not the only way to develop a career which will give you mental satisfaction and peace. The main purpose should be to get job whether it is permanent or temporary.

Flexibility:
Temporary staffing provides flexibility for workers and workers can choose part time job option. Also temporary employees are provided with insurance and various other allowances. Temporary workers have the option to leave job if it does not fit. In some cases contracts are signed between staffing agencies and workers but in other case temporary workers are given choice to leave the work.
Moreover if workers are affiliated with a staffing company and they find other company as more suitable for them they can go for other staffing agencies after ending of contract.
Temporary employment also provides flexibility for employers in choosing their staff. The choosing of permanent staff is a long hectic task, on the other hand temporary staff hiring is less critical process and it allow company to get good number of workers for a project work. If permanent employees work well they may get chance of permanent hiring by company.
