Part-time, Temporary & Contract Jobs | Jobs & Careers

The process of finding a temporary position is often very different from finding full-time employment. The way in which you approach the process could be a defining factor in receiving your perfect placement or that nightmare position. The following information should put you on the right track hopefully giving you the confidence to go for the positions you deserve and desire.

Speed is of the Essence
Once you make yourself available for temporary employment you will find that the whole recruitment process can move very quickly. Certain jobs may only remain active for a few hours so having an effective recruitment consultant acting on your behalf can really make the difference.

Find Yourself a Recruitment Consultant
Choosing a consultant can be a job in itself, with so many companies and individuals providing these services you will need to do your homework before deciding on one. Use the internet at first to find details of consultants working in your area, and then spend a little time meeting a few to get an idea of how they operate. You will put much more trust in someone to find you the correct position when you have met them face to face.

Communication
When you have decided on a consultant to handle your recruitment, ensure that you communicate regularly. It is inevitable that as time passes your situation or requirements will change. Make sure that they have a good idea of the type of work you are interested in right from the off. If you are only interested in specific roles make sure they know about it. The more information you can provide will give you a better chance of ending up in a position that you will thrive in.

An Effective CV
Your CV is an effective advertisement of your skills and will become your primary sales tool. You need to ensure that it is kept up to date and more importantly, that any recruitment services have it up to date. Many employers will be just as interested in what you are currently doing as what you may have done in the past. If you are working towards any formal qualifications or are learning new skills in your current position then make sure it's listed.
The presentation of your CV can also make a huge difference; small touches can make you stand out from the rest. When all employers have to look at is a batch of printed A4, a noticeable style can really set you apart. There are many guides available across the internet focusing solely on CV writing techniques which will be most useful to you.

Interview Techniques
The majority of temporary positions will require an interview. There could often be the temptation to treat such an interview as a less formal affair but there is usually much competition for temporary jobs so ensure that you spend time preparing.

It is imperative that you research the organisation as best you can. Many potential employers will ask what you know about the company or why you would like to work for them and the last thing you need is to get 'rabbit in the headlight' syndrome. You will find that you will be able to answer questions more confidently if you do your research and it will show the employer that you value the position. Make sure that you have some information on their customers or competitors and always be prepared to ask questions; an interview doesn't have to be a one way affair.

First impressions will count for a great deal when applying for a temporary position. Always allow plenty of time to get to the interview location as being late could cause you to fall at the first hurdle. Regardless of the dress code it is always advisable to wear a business suit. This will provide an instant, visually professional, impact to your interviewer.
Communication skills will be highly sought after, no matter what area the company specialises in. Be confident with your answers to any questions they may pose but avoid being arrogant, arrogance can be easy to detect and hard to recover from. Eye contact is also important; the last thing that an interviewer will want to see is someone staring at their feet for the duration so try to make contact from time to time.

Finally, ensure that you prepare some questions in advance. Show an interest in the company and the position you are applying for. There must be details of the post that you are unsure of or areas of the organisation that you are interested in so don't be afraid to ask.

Temporary work in any organisation can be tough and stressful at times but it can also be very rewarding. You will have the chance to meet interesting people and to gain valuable experience that wouldn't otherwise be available so get your skills out there and make the most of your opportunities.
