As one of the leading staffing agencies in Houston TX, Clayton Services understands that some people are skeptical about taking a temporary job. However, working a temporary job has many benefits that most people don't consciously think about. Below you will find some of the most overlooked benefits of working a temporary job:
1. Flexibility Most temporary positions (short and long term) come with a projected end date. This allows you to work only when you want to work. Since the length of the assignment is often predetermined, you can schedule your life events accordingly. 2. Opportunity to Make an Impression In this day and age, searching for a job can be an agonizing task. A majority of all employment applications are now found on the internet. Therefore, it's difficult to make a great impression on an employer through only a resume. Working a temporary job provides you the opportunity to show off your skills and work ethic in-person to a potential employer. Consequently, a good number of our temporary positions have turned into full-time employment opportunities. 3. Test the Waters A temporary job can serve as a platform, for someone who has little experience or that has been out of the workforce for a while, to get back into the swing of things. Temporary jobs can also give you the opportunity to experience working in a variety of industries, which can be very valuable for someone who is currently unsure about their career path. 4.'Work' is Better Than 'No Work' Instead of going long periods of time without working, you can work a temporary job to fill in employment gaps on your resume. However, working a temporary job can affect more than just your resume. Going long periods of time without working can make anyone start to feel hopeless, worthless and defeated. Prevent those negative psychological feelings from creeping into your mind by working a temporary job to stay in a daily routine and remain motivated. 5. Network, Network, Network You hear and read about it all of the time, networking (whether we like it or not) is a big part of career success. Working a temporary job is an opportunity for you to expand your network and meet people you wouldn't normally meet on a daily basis. You never know when a relationship that you've developed working a temporary job will come in handy in the future. The more people you have in your network, the more beneficial your network can be for your career. A temporary job can have much more than just a 'temporary' impact on your career. These often overlooked benefits can last well beyond your assignments 'projected end date'. Ready to hire a candidate or find a great job?

I agree that temporary job is a great opportunity to make an impression and to gain experience. Using an employment staffing agency to get temporary employment could be a great way to get your foot in the door. Once you are in you can begin to make a good impression to prove that you would be a great person to hire on more permanently. It can often be difficult to find permanent employment if you have a short resume, this may be a great solution to your employment seeing problems.

I like that you mentioned that a temporary job can give you a chance to meet contacts and gain valuable networking opportunities. That could be really beneficial if you needed a new job in the future. I have been having trouble finding work, and I have been considering finding a temp job. I will have to give it a little more thought!

I had heard that temp jobs were actually a really great option, and I was wondering who they would best benefit. In the article you wrote that a temporary job is great cause it allows you to actually test the job and see if it is a good fit for you. This would be a great option for someone who is trying to figure out what they should do for a career, as they could test a variety f different kind of jobs.

I like how you pointed out that working through a temp agency is beneficial since allows both flexibility and the ability to make a good impression on a potential future long term employer. I'd imagine it would also be a great way to help a potential future employee gain some experience and exposure into their chosen career field as well. Does working through a staffing agency also generally cut down the amount of time it takes to find a job for yourself?

I like what you said about how most temporary positions come with a projected end date, both short and long-term. My husband wants to get back to work now that our kids are in school, but he mostly wants to be sure he still has a lot of flexibility. Thank you for the information about how you can schedule your life events accordingly because the length of the assignment is often predetermined.
