You Can Make a Temporary Job Permanent

Temporary employment is a fast-growing trend across all industries. In fact, Staffing Industry Analysts found that employers collectively spent about $1 billion on short-term projects with temporary employers and contract workers in 2013.

And you know how you went straight to Amazon last holiday season to place those precious holiday orders? Well, Amazon hired 80,000 temporary employees to handle the influx, and that’s up 14 percent from Amazon’s 70,000 temporary-hiring spree in 2013.

And according to the American Staffing Association, the use of temporary employees jumped up by over 50% from 2010-2013. But perhaps the most important statistic: The Upjohn Institute of Employment Research reports that roughly 27% of temporary assignments lead to permanent employment.

You know what that means? It means temporary employment is a secret weapon in the search for a sustainable career. Why? Because it’s a gateway to the companies you want to work for.
