London is a big place and to those who are not familiar with the city or who have not worked before, the process of ‘getting started’ working in London, can be intimidating. But the good news is that it doesn’t need to be, you can actually land a really good job temping, without having to put in too much effort. How cool is that ?

The first thing that you need to do is to register with a temping agency as soon as you can. This can either be an online recruitment agency or one that you find in Yellow Pages or similar. You may even see one on the High Street.

If you are very keen, then you could always register with a couple, so that you can find a dream job in next to no time at all. Checking out if the recruitment agency has any particular field of specialities e.g. secretarial jobs or white collar jobs, can also save you joining the wrong type of agency i.e. you don’t want to sign up to an agency who don’t tend to have the kind of jobs that you are looking for.

It is possible to find seasonal and temporary jobs in local papers or on the internet, but if you join an agency then you are to some extent protected by that agency and if the job doesn’t work out, it will be easier to find another position quite quickly. So give due consideration to this, even if you think that you have secured a really good job with a tiny advert you see in the local paper.

Make sure that you feel comfortable with the personnel at the recruitment agency and if you don’t, or they don’t seem professional, then don’t sign up with them: after all there are plenty out there, so you can literally take your pick!
