For three young women, working as temps matches both their career plans and their private lives.
Hiroko Wakimoto began a career working as a full-time employee at a German manufacturing company in Japan. She later worked at a Vienna-based tour agency for two years, where she acquired a strong command of business English. She switched to temp work upon her return to Japan, as she wanted to pursue both her university studies and work.
Married at 29, she now works as a temp through Adecco Career Staff at a major American bank.
