The difference between a Temporary employee and a Contractor simply is temporaries are hourly employees and contractors are exempt employees with a level of decision making authority.
People may not realize that there are thousands of companies in desperate need of skilled employees even in this economy. But, to land a job over the competition, you still have to work smarter. Good jobs aren't on the market very long. If you have been unemployed for a while consider a temporary or contract role...
There are good reasons to pursue a contract/temporary role:
1: Test drive a job/industry before committing time and money to training
2: Fill a gap on a resume and keep busy while job searching. This is very important; recruiters can't see past these Gaps fill it with something such as volunteer work and put it on your resume. Be excited to talk about it at the interview
3: Lets face it if you're a working candidate you are more attractive to future employers
