Whether you are starting out in your career, returning from a break or even changing career you may find yourself in a perfect position to temp. You can temp in any situation, however it may suit some people more than others. If you are one of the following types of people you will find great benefits from temping.

Graduates

Finding a job in the market as a recent graduate can be tough. If you find that you haven’t gained much work experience you may feel that you are stuck having to take on work that doesn’t inspire you and is not related in any way to your degree. With temporary work you can find an immediate opportunity to help you gain that all important experience to work towards a graduate role and refresh those essential transferable skills.

Returning parents

Many returning parents find temping to be a great option. Coming back to work from having a child can be a great time to try something new and completely go through a career change, or to generally find ad hoc days or even longer-term assignments to get back into work without necessarily having a massive commitment. Depending on the assignment, this can allow flexibility to juggle childcare and work. It is more likely that the working patterns and the time periods, will be transparent.

Students

Whether you are saving money or just need some extra cash in the holidays, students are in a great position to take on temporary assignments. Often holiday periods are some of the busiest times within businesses and students return from study at the prime times for short term temp assignments. Not only is it a great way to earn money, temp assignments can help you build up great work experience and this will make it easier to get a post grad job when you are ultimately looking for one in the future.
