Summary: Practical; but, caution
Comment: In April 2002, I purchased Executive Temping by Saralee Woods and Kennedy Information's The Directory of Temporary Placement for Executives, Managers and Professionals (ninth edition). I found the summary questions to differentiate between an employee and consultant found in The Directory of Temporary Placement for Executives, Managers and Professionals to be a good review of this important subject. Many of the suggestions found in Executive Temping are practical, geared toward helping an executive-level professional refine their presentation to both staffing service and prospective employers. My intention was to use the books for a letter marketing campaign. I selected 52 name and addresses from the two books for mailout on May 2002. My returned mail rate is not favorable showing bad addresses of 24-30%. If you want to use these books as an overview of executive-level temping, Executive Temping by Saralee Woods may more closely fit your requirements. If you wish to use the books as a source for temporary staffing services name and address information, proceed with caution - both books have outdated address information.

Summary: Excellent career guidance for professional temporary workers
Comment: "Executive Temping" is a gem for any professional who wants or needs an alternative to self-employment or a traditional job. Five of the chapters cover opportunities and work contexts for temping in information technology, accounting and finance, healthcare and science, engineering, and law. Other chapters cover critical aspects of temporary employment, such as pay, how to choose the right service, how to connect with the service, and how to interview. The four chapters that cover survival on the job impressed me particularly. Although couched in terms of "your first temp job," Ms. Woods has actually included an employability skills course for adults. Every lesson I learned in my working life, and some I wish I had learned are contained in those chapters.
The organization and style of "Executive Temping" make it an easy read for anyone. Chapters are nicely broken into shorter topics, and filled with "real people" stories th! at illustrate the points. This book is a valuable addition to career guidance literature.
Rating: 5
Summary: Everything you need to get the right job.
Comment: Executive Temping is a tremendous resource for anyone entering the job market or considering a career change. Ms. Woods experience and expertise as an staffing executive produces a valuable tool to maximize your earning potential as a profesional temp.
EXECUTIVE TEMPING would be great for any company seeking professional development opportunities.
