Finding a job that fits your skillset, lifestyle, and previous experience (or lack thereof!) can be frustrating – especially when you have to sift through oodles and oodles of listings on the internet. The location and amount of flexibility you may require can also play a role in finding the right job for you when you have family or educational commitments. Put all these factors together and the (sometimes incredible) demands in a job advertisement and finding the perfect job for you nearly impossible.
Permanent, full-time, part-time, and temporary work – understanding what’s out there:
There is a difference between the terms. Temporary jobs offer employment for a fixed period of time. They may be seasonal, or project based. You’ll typically see an increase in advertisements for temporary jobs around summer or during the holiday season. Temporary jobs may involve working full-time, or more than 30 hours a week. Part-time jobs, on the other hand, may be permanent positions where you work a fixed number of hours a week or may be temporary positions as well.
Part-time jobs and temp jobs typically offer more flexibility than permanent, full-time jobs. If you are looking for permanent, full-time work, it’s important to remember that part-time and temp jobs often have the potential to turn in to permanent full-time contracts.
Forbes reports that many employers prefer to hire on a temporary, part-time basis before offering an employee a permanent, full-time contract. However, this information may not always be included on a job advertisement. A staffing agency may be able to let you know if this is a possibility with the job you are applying for.
How a staffing and recruitment agency can help you find the perfect job:
The main aim of a staffing agency is to help candidates find the right job as well as to help companies find the right person for an open position. It also ensures that your rights as a worker are protected, you are fairly compensated for your work, and your needs are met.
Staffing agencies also have access to more job opportunities and may be able to offer options for employment that you not even have considered but would be a great fit for you. A great staffing agency may also help you get the training you need to qualify for a particular role you are interested in.
