The American Staffing Association reports that staffing agencies employ more than 3 million contract or temporary workers every week in the U.S. Are you one of those 3 million? Do you think you have what it takes to be a successful temp?
If so, Labor Solutions wants to put you to work! While everyone has the potential to be a great temporary employee, we have identified a few characteristics that tend to make an individual really stand out as a temp.
Highly Desirable Traits of a Temporary Employee
Of course, we each bring our own special skills and abilities to any job, but here are a few attributes that can help you be a successful temp worker.
- Quick learner. If you will only be in a position for a short while, your employer is going to want you to hit the ground running. It’s important to have a thirst for knowledge that spurs you to absorb new information quickly and effectively.
- Love a challenge. Often, employers need temps to help complete a specific project or pitch in during a busy season. They aren’t going to hire you to just sit on your bum! You need to be up to the challenge of helping a busy organization stay productive and efficient.
- Enjoy variety. Temp jobs come and go. It’s important that you have a penchant for trying new things and engaging with various people and environments. Every company is different, and you have to learn to fit in quickly.
- Punctual. Punctuality is an important trait in every employee, but especially in temporary ones. Your employer is counting on you to show up and do an important job. You need to be reliable in order to build your reputation as a dependable worker that is in demand.
