Some of the people who work for Labor Solutions are only looking for temporary positions, whereas others are interested in parlaying a temporary position into a permanent one. If you fall into the latter category, read on to learn some strategies for getting hired permanently out of a temp position.
Make It Last!
Labor Solutions works with a number of companies that prefer to bring in temporary workers before they commit to hiring new staff as permanent employees. They don’t always inform the workers that they are being screened this way, so any time you accept a temporary position through Labor Solutions, you should approach it as if it could become permanent.
If you do hope to be hired by the client company, take the job seriously. Show up on time, put forth your best effort, and behave in a professional manner at all times. Go the extra mile by volunteering to take on more responsibilities or hours should the opportunity become available. Imagine that your temporary assignment is an extended interview to evaluate how you would perform in the assigned role.
Do your best to be a team player and provide real value to the company and your coworkers. Alienating established employees won’t improve your chances of being hired.
You can also strive to develop a rapport with your manager or supervisor. If you like the job and the company, let your employer know that you would be interested in applying for a long-term position if one comes open. There’s no need to pester them with your requests to be hired, but don’t keep that information to yourself either.
Keep Labor Solutions in the Loop
Of course, you should also let the staff at Labor Solutions know if you desire to move from a temporary to a permanent position. In most cases, we’re happy to help you achieve your goal!
