If you're considering temporary work for the coming year, what can you do to make sure you're the one we think of first when a new assignment comes in?
If you're a confident, out-going person, then temping can be an excellent and fun career where you can meet lots of people and enjoy new experiences every day. Being a good temp is all about flexibility. You have to be chameleon-like, adapting and changing to different environments all the time and that's not always easy.
Flexibility is the key to being a successful temp. It's not just about being flexible in terms of when you start on a new assignment, either. If you want the work to keep coming your way, you need to be flexible in terms of the rate you're paid for short term assignments; and the role you have. Someone who is flexible and adaptable makes a successful temp. Reliability is the key, as is loyalty. It is important for you to keep your skills constantly updated whether through experience or training to ensure you receive the best job opportunities and pay rates.
It's really important to keep in touch with us. Have your mobile switched on so that we can keep in touch with you. Temps need to be able to communicate fast. Key to success is keeping in touch with us. Tell us if you move house, give us your email address or any new contact numbers.
It's crucial to be punctual, reliable and presentable, and to have a highly professional attitude.
Companies and organisations won't bring a temp in unless they really need one. You always need to be willing to go that extra mile as a temp. Temps are an expensive resource, and so need to give 100%.
