Advises Hentz: "I've occasionally recommended that people do a temp section on their resume like this:"
Kelly Temps, Phoenix AZ. March 2000-present. Various temping assignments for companies in need of skills in word-processing, PowerPoint, databases, and reception of visitors. Placements included:
• New England Aquarium
• Arizona State University Office of Residence Life
• Tempe Women's Clinic
• Phoenix Digital Technology
Agrees Hood: "If the work history has been very sporadic, then there are other issues to deal with, but you may just wish to list as 'related' work history, rather than as a comprehensive list.
"I don't recommend listing all temp jobs on the resume unless they are directly related to the position for which the client is applying," notes Gale Montgomery, career development coordinator at Simpson College and Graduate School.
You may also get to the point where you have enough experience to list on your resume that you no longer need to list your temp jobs. List them only if they help you sell yourself, your skills, and your accomplishments.
