First temp job

So I start my first temp position tomorrow and I was wondering about a few things. I have to fill out a weekly time sheet and get it signed by my supervisor. When is it a good time to get the signature? Do I actually have to wait until the last minute on Friday? Or does it vary?

Also, I was told I would be working in the Treasury department but other than needing a lot of attention to detail and the work being kinda boring/tedious, I wasn't really given much detail on the position. Any one have any idea what I might be doing? I'm just curious.

    I would meet with your supervisor and ask them when they would like to sign the sheet.

    Also, I would assume you should expect to be working with a lot of excel/data entry

    Yes on both counts.

    I did a bunch of various temp jobs for a bank while I was looking for more permanent work, and most of it involved data entry & management, usually for some form of compliance with federal regulations.

    But the Treasury Department deals with a lot of different stuff, everything from counterfeiting to presidential protection. If that's really all you know, be ready for anything.

    Ahh, yeah it would be best just to ask.

    I'd be fine with mostly data entry but I will try to be ready for anything.

    Edit: Thanks!
