Career and Job Search Guide
  

Freelance, Consulting, Contract and Temp Jobs

The following links provide access information about temporary, contract, freelance, or consulting job opportunities. We encourage those looking for jobs in specific states to visit the jobs by state section of the site found on the "Job Search" page.

The majority of sites advertising temporary or freelance opportunities are funded by companies offering recruiting services, so often it costs money to register on these sites. A few sites are not funded by these companies. While you examine websites, make sure you are familiar with any, or all registration fees.

Many sites listing temporary jobs are sponsored by employment agencies. After finding temporary workers, these agencies then receive payment from companies hiring these temporary workers. As a result, temporary workers have a percentage of their pay deducted from their pay checks to pay agency fees. Some temporary jobs eventually become full time positions, so temporary work can be a good way to begin a career.
