Working on a Temporary status offers a variety of Benefits. Here are a few:
-
WeWorks provides workers with a path by which to reach the employer without spending their own time, money, and energy finding the work
-
Flexible work schedule
-
The beauty of working with a staffing company is that you get exposed to a variety of companies, positions and opportunities that you may never otherwise have been privy to. It’s the easiest way to find out what you like about different companies in a very short period of time. After three or four long-term assignments, you’ll have a much better idea of what you’re looking for in terms of company culture, the type of boss that you work best with, and the type of work you enjoy doing.
-
If you find yourself unemployed and unclear about your prospects after graduation, consider a staffing company as you would your university placement center you really can’t afford to pass on a resource that just might land you the job you want or at least a clearly marked path to it.
According to Forbes here is a host of reasons Temp Work may work for you even if you are not looking for a career change:
-
Gets you out of bed in the morning. You’ve got something to do.
-
Gets you in the door. It may lead to full-time work with an employer eventually. Don’t miss the opportunity.
-
Gets you decent pay. You can make your experience a plus. Employers are typically willing to pay you generously, providing you have the chops, if you solve their problem or need quickly. It lets them bypass the hand-holding and learning curve stage that a younger, less experienced, but lower-paid worker, might require.
-
Builds your professional network. Nurture relationships with co-workers during your assignment. You never know where a contact may lead you, and who they might be able to refer you to for future jobs.
-
Lands you new and au courant references for future employers to contact about what you’ve been up to lately.
-
Keeps your resume alive. It’s a bone to stave off the disgrace of those gaping holes of idleness in your resume.
-
Keeps your skills sharp. You know the mantra: Use it or lose it.
-
Lets you get psyched about a work project–without the pressure of long-term expectations. No job is forever, anyway. This one just might be shorter than most, and that can be tremendously freeing.
