What types of temporary job can you expect to find in London? Office work is a big attraction; the best way in is to register with as many agencies as you can. Some agencies may test your computer and typing skills. Retail, customer service and receptionist jobs are some of the best to look for, particularly those that provide on-the-job training. Some retail positions will also entitle you to a discount, which is a nice perk!
