How can I benefit from temporary work? I want a permanent job, so I thought I would collect unemployment until the right opportunity came along.

Becoming an Ajilon Pinstripe associate yields many benefits to the permanent job seeker. First, you can make money, improve your skills and make valuable contacts in the business world as a temporary worker while you are searching for a permanent job. Hiring authorities are far more likely to hire candidates who are performing in an office environment, than those who are collecting unemployment. In addition, a growing number of companies are "auditioning" temporary workers for full-time direct-hire positions. Many Ajilon Pinstripe temporary workers are hired on a direct-hire basis. There are many people who find the flexibility and diversity of temporary work an extremely attractive alternative to permanent work. Many others use temporary work to find a direct-hire position, earn extra money, learn new skills and experiment with different career alternatives.
