If you have been considering taking on a temporary position, then now may be the perfect time to enter the market. Many more companies are considering hiring temporary staff, whether it’s to cover extended leave of an employee, or to assist in special projects.

If you’re finding it hard to find a job, and you want to get back into work sooner rather than later, then taking on a temporary role can be a much shorter process than securing a permanent role within the same company.
Do you have other commitments outside work such as school or a family? If so, then a temporary position will give you greater flexibility over your schedule. Unlike with a more traditional jb, you’ll be able to choose to work short/long term or contract assignments, to accommodate your specific lifestyle.
If you have recently graduated, or are trying to transition into a different career, temporary roles will allow you to learn new skills, try out different industries, and gain experience with a range of procedures, so you can make the right choice before committing to a permanent role.

Even if the company you’re working with doesn’t have a vacancy when your role ends, you can leave with good references. Such connections can also lead to longer-term positions in the future. Even better? Your placement agency will be keen to work with you again if you prove yourself to be reliable.
You can use your temp position as a way to get your foot in the door. If you prove your worth to the company (eg. by always being on time and taking on additional responsibility), they could extend your assignment to a more permanent position.
