Through the Eyes of a Temp. - Legislative Assistant Tennessee General Assembly Employee Review

The job is part time until near the end of the legislative session when things get busy. The work is repetitive, but not awful, and some of it is interesting. Colleagues are intelligent and the work environment is relaxed. It is an excellent gig for a well-educated retired person or an English major who has daytime hours free. You must know English grammar and be an excellent speller.

It is temporary work, only for when the legislature is in session, so the fun comes to an end by mid-May and does not resume until the following February.

Flexibility, experience, connections, strong management

Low pay, long hours, unpredictability
