temp job
Brief work assignment
A temp job is temporary employment, typically arranged through a staffing agency for a fixed period or specific project.
Temp jobs fill short-term needs—covering parental leave, handling seasonal rushes, or completing discrete tasks.
Workers may prefer the flexibility, while employers avoid long-term commitments: I'm doing a temp job until I find something permanent.
