Do you know what is meant by 'How long have you been in regular work?' when selecting temp work from the employment list? I think it can mean one of two things:
- how long have you been working for the employment agency
- how long have you been working in total
I need to find out which of these it is. I have a permanent job for a longish time, but the OH has recently gone in to temp work. This question has then got us stumped - do we answer X number of years (i.e. regular permanent work with different employers since Uni) or X number of months because the has only been with the temp agency for a matter of weeks? The end figure that is given varies greatly depending on how we answer...
