I am having a bit of trouble finding a job. I have had 3 interviews and been knocked back 3 times!
I have been very lucky with childcare and found 4 days for DD. I have no idea how I am going to pay for this until I find a job.

Does anyone do temp work? Its the only way I can think of to pay for childcare. I dont want to lose my place and then get a job and not have childcare. its so hard!

Temping is great! Well, it suits me anyway! I can choose who I want to work for, what hours I will work & it is also a "try before you buy" deal. A lot of companies will offer you a job if they think you are good at it, even if they have to "create" the position.


Just register yourself with at least 3 agencies, and say yes to all the jobs when they first come in (if you say no because it's too far, or the hours aren't enough, they are less likely to call you for the next job)

I average around 35 hours a week, sometimes 40 hours for 5 weeks, and then only 25 hours for the next 2 weeks, but it suits me. Don't forget, most temps are doing it while they are looking for full time work!

Good luck, I hope it works for you!:fingerscrossed:
