JANUARY 19, 2010

A couple of weeks later, a manager paid me a visit. Levit, author of “New Job, New You” cautions that before such an inquiry you should make sure you’ve been doing a great job at the position you were hired to fill as a temp. You’ve got to demonstrate that even as a temp, you’re a great fit for the company.

Is your company cost conscious therefore keeping the temp in the office higher than you would like it? Switch it up! Start off by choosing the best clothing for the day ahead of you. Think about your office. Are you near a window where the sun shines in at certain times of the day? How is the circulation in your office? Drink water!

Luckily, the temps here in Maine this week look like it should make it easy to pretend the first signs of leaves turning aren’t showing up on Autumn Lane. Now it’s time to catch up, even if the weather is whispering summer sweet nothings in my ear. I signed up early and with great anticipation waited for the snow to thaw.

Taking on more than is yours to take on is part of an employment model that teaches people to do more than they signed up for in order to hopefully keep their jobs. If something happened to you tomorrow, what would they do…how would they manage their businesses? The responsibility for making things go right belongs to the clients.

I have no idea how long "temp" is considered before they would offer the permanent position. It feels like a bait and switch and there are no guarantees.
