Learn How Working a Temp-to-Hire Position Can Benefit Your Career
The past year and a half has been tough for many people, with employers forced to cut staffing in the face of COVID-19 shutdown requirements. What do you do when you’re looking for work but aren’t sure where to go next?
Maybe you feel like it’s time for a change in your career, but you don’t know how your skills can apply to a different work line.
The answer might be to consider a temp-to-hire position. These are jobs in which a company is looking for an employee to help fill a vacancy, but the right person could be offered a full time position.
How can this benefit you in the long run? Is it worth considering?
Here are a few things to keep in mind.
You might be eligible to be hired faster than if you’d applied through traditional practices. An open position means a company needs help. Suppose you sign on to fill in temporarily. In that case, you’re getting valuable on-the-job training while also showing the manager, and your supervisor, that you’re eager to learn and capable of doing the job. If the contract is a temp-to-hire position with, say, a six-month window, you might prove your worth in a shorter amount of time.
It provides great work experience for your resume. Every job provides you with new work experiences, regardless of whether it’s in the same field or something brand new. Every job you have gives you a chance to learn something new and the opportunity to add new skills to your resume. Learn all your can, even if you don’t stay in the position very long. Learning new things adds flexibility and new tools to your skillset.
It’s a trial for you as much as the company. A temp position is a great way to see whether you like a certain kind of work without the commitment (upfront) of expecting you to stay with a company for years. Temp jobs give you the chance to potentially try a few different kinds of positions over time, all while earning a paycheck and learning new skills. If you find something you unexpectedly love or feel passionate about, so much the better!
Temp work can help you find out what’s important to you. There’s plenty of conversations as of late about “company culture” and “workplace values.” This might not seem like something worth considering — you might never have thought about it before! But company culture basically boils down to what an organization priorities and values in itself, its workers, and how it fits into a community. You might start working a temp job at a company and learn they value giving back to the community in the form of quarterly volunteer opportunities. That could become a big perk for you! Or you might find that they embrace ideas that don’t match what’s important to you. Either way, you’ll have a chance to learn and see the kinds of things you’d like to be associated with while at work.
The possibilities are endless! Taking a temporary job means, from the start, the expectation is that you’ll be in a position for a set amount of time. There’s no immediate obligation, from you or the company, for anything more than that. If you hate the job, you’re only there for a short time. You can try something else, maybe even something wildly different, next time around. Or you might stumble into something you’re surprised to find that you love. There’s no downside.
Trying a temp-to-hire job is like auditioning for a play. You can try out a character for a while, see if it suits you and makes sense to you, and if it doesn’t work, there’s another one around the corner. You learn some new job skills, find ways in which the abilities you already have can be applied in different ways, pick up some new networking contacts, and, maybe, just maybe, you can find a whole new career when you aren’t looking.
Personnel Staffing, Inc. works with great companies, with plenty of temp-to-hire opportunities. If you’re ready to try something new, either for now or for the long haul, find your nearest Personnel Staffing, Inc. location today and let’s get started.
Why 3rd Shift Might Be the Best Option for You
If you’re in the market for a new job, third shift probably isn’t the first option to spring to mind. Also known as the overnight or graveyard shift, this shift typically runs from 11pm to 7am or midnight to 8am. If you’re the type of person who can adjust your sleep schedule, this often-overlooked shift actually carries a lot of benefits that you may not have considered.
HERE ARE JUST A FEW REASONS TO CONSIDER WORKING OVERNIGHTS.
Family And Personal Time
Since much of daily life runs on a daytime schedule, it can be tough to find time to get a haircut or enjoy your kid’s afternoon events if you’re working traditional hours. Working overnight is a great way to make more time for the things that happen during the day, provided you’re able to easily adapt your sleeping hours.
Better Pay
Third shift is typically far less popular than first or second shift, which means employers often have to entice workers to fill that shift. A common incentive is a pay differential. Who doesn’t want to do exactly the same work for extra money per hour? You may even get promoted faster, as there is usually less competition on the overnight shift.
Quieter Worksite
Though there are always exceptions, third shift tends to be the quietest. Few, if any, customers will show up in the middle of the night. Upper management is typically fast asleep, and meetings are rare to nonexistent. It can even be easier to make friends with your third shift coworkers, since there are generally fewer distractions.
Childcare Considerations
The price of childcare is only going up. If your spouse or partner works days, switching to third shift could help you minimize the amount of time your kids spend in a paid childcare arrangement. Of course, it’s important to discuss this possibility with your partner before making a decision.
Third shift isn’t the right choice for every worker, but it does have a lot of benefits that many people overlook. Give the opportunity some serious thought to determine if it makes sense for you.

Tips for Going from Temp to Full Time
If you've been employed in temporary jobs for a long time and feel stuck in the "always a temp, never a perm" pool, you may need to better portray your skills to potential employers. That may sound easier said than done, but these seven tips can help you move from temp to perm and take charge of your career.
Speak Up
When you register with an agency, immediately let the recruiter know you want a full-time placement. "Unless you make it clear to the agency, you may fall into a long-term temp mode," says Steve Armstrong, vice president and regional manager at Kelly Services in Detroit. If you feel you've let the agency know that you want a full-time position you're being ignored, speak to the branch manager. "It could be you are working with the wrong recruiter at the firm," he adds.
Explain Why
Be prepared to answer if an employer asks why you elected to be a temporary worker for so long or why you want to shift from a flexible structure to a more traditional one. "You must address that question in your own mind before you go to an interview," advises Armstrong. Obviously, avoid saying temp work was the only work you could find. "That doesn't show that you feel you own your career," he adds.
Then how do you answer that question if all you've been able to get is a temporary position for the past several weeks or months? If you were laid off but it was months or even years ago, say that you wanted to explore some different options prior to making a full-time commitment and that temporary work enabled this.
Emphasize Variety and Dependability
Also illustrate that temporary work has given you the opportunity to work with different people in various corporate cultures. "That shows your ability to adapt to change, which is critical in our current environment," says Maureen Carrig of OfficeTeam in Menlo Park, California. Other intangibles that make temporary assignments valuable include your ability to prioritize, meet deadlines and be dependable. Those are all important in full-time jobs, too.
Sell Your Skills
Don't forget to spell out the skills you learned doing temporary work and how they have prepared you for the job you're applying for. "Hiring managers will look favorably on your efforts to build new skills," says Carrig.
Remain Positive
Like the old song says, "You've got to accentuate the positive." Why? "So much of whether you're hired falls into the soft-skills category of attitude," says Armstrong. "It permeates every aspect of our lives -- what someone's personal attitude is and how people react to it. We've been reminded lately that there are many things we don't have control over, but attitude is one thing you do."
Your Resume Counts
Employers like reliability. Use your resume to show you have worked consistently for one staffing agency. "List the staffing firm as your employer, and then include supporting bulleted statements mentioning the skills, duties and accomplishments within your assignments working for that firm," says Carrig. That way, a hiring manager can look at the range of experience you have working for one agency, rather than get distracted by lists of companies and your brief assignments with them. You can still name the client companies in the bulleted points, but the emphasis should be on the skills you used and your accomplishments.
Don't Forget the Basics
And remember: The basics always count. "Most assignments can provide you with an audition for a full-time job," says Carrig. "So show up on time, produce quality work, keep a positive attitude and be professional in your dealings with everyone."
