Looking to maintain a steady income while also exploring unique and flexible career opportunities? Temp work may be perfect for you! We’re breaking down the five types of people who can thrive in this type of career.
The Newcomer
You’re in college or fresh out of school and ready to start your life in the working world. You don’t have a lot of experience but are eager to gain skills and grow your resume.
How temp work fits in: Finding your first real job can be daunting. Most companies want you to have some type of work experience, but you need to start somewhere, right? That’s where temporary jobs come in. ALTRES Staffing can set you up with temp work that allows you to get a package deal, gain valuable experience and test out the waters of different fields all while working with your current schedule.
The Side Hustler
You have a regular job, but you want a flexible way to make some extra income.
How temp work fits in: With the ability to accept or decline any assignment, temporary work gives you the flexibility to build in a few odd jobs around your regular work schedule. Some assignments could span a few weekends while others could last two hours total. What you take on is completely in your hands!
The Change Lover
You get bored easily. You’re not the type of person who likes to do the same task over and over. In fact, you’d rather do a little bit of everything than focus on one thing day in and day out.
How temp work fits in: When you work with a staffing company like ALTRES Staffing, you can be sure that no two temp jobs are exactly the same. You might be assisting with a movie premiere one week and filing documents the next. It’s the perfect way to apply your current skills in new environments while learning new ones along the way.
The Career Upgrader
You aren’t loving your current job and are ready for a serious change. You want to see what’s out there or maybe you already have another industry in mind but want to test out the waters.
How temp work fits in: Temporary jobs are a great way to get your foot in the door of respectable, established companies. You can try out different positions, check out a wide variety of industries, and make a decision on your own terms about what’s right for you. Whether you have six months or twenty years of work experience, it’s never too late to start looking for a career path you’ll love.
The Traveler
You love travelling the world and a permanent 9 to 5 job never seems to offer enough vacation days for you to see all the new and exciting places on your bucket list.
How temp work fits in: Because you can choose which assignments to take on and can create your own work schedule, temp work is ideal for anyone looking to travel extensively without needing to request time off.
See how one former ALTRES Staffing temporary employee used her flexible schedule to explore 11 countries—How to Travel the World by Doing Temp Work.
Do any of these sound like you? If it does, consider how temp work can be a part of your next career move.
