Whether you're looking for job flexibility, exposure to various industries or an opportunity to gain experience in different roles, temp work is an excellent option.
But how do you get started with temp work, and how do you find jobs?
How to Find Temp Jobs
Temporary positions can be rewarding, fulfilling, and beneficial – if you find the right ones. If you’re getting started with temp work, you’ll want to follow these pro tips to find your first position.
1. Refresh Your Resume
Whether you’re looking for your first temp job or another position after many, now is a good time to refresh your resume. Many temp jobs will still require you to submit one, so it’s worth taking the time to make sure it’s accurate.
2. Write Down What You Want
There are a lot of temporary jobs available, so before you start wading through them it’s a good idea to figure out exactly what you’re looking for. This includes things like:
- Do I want a similar job to something I’ve done before, or try something new?
- Am I ok with traveling? Do I need a job to provide accommodations?
- What salary range will make this worthwhile for me?
- Am I looking for temp only or temp-to-hire opportunities?
Writing down your answers to these questions will help you sift through jobs to find exactly the right fit.
3. Partner with a Staffing Agency
A good place to start is a temporary staffing agency like Strom Engineering. Strom provides staffing services for all sorts of industries and positions, so it’s easy for you to pick and choose based on what you’re looking for.
