Midnight Snack: It’s only Temporary…
Even with the economy on an upswing, we still hear people talking about how competitive the workforce is. Now don’t let this deter you, because there are still a lot of people hiring. I mean just because the economy is bad does not stop the need to get work done, and done well. Even if full time employment is a little harder to obtain, there are a lot of companies who are looking for temporary help, until they have the approval to fill positions permanently. I ran across a great tip today and I wanted to share it with you all. Maybe I’m late finding this out, but hey, better late than never, right? :-)
So, everyone knows there are a million temp agencies out there that offer a lot of services. What I found out was that most major corporations have “In-House Temp Programs” and a lot of them only work with a specific temp agency. With that being said, if there is a company that you want to work for, but cannot seem to get your foot in the door, find out if they have an in-house temp program and if so what temp agency they work with. When you go to the agency to register (you like how I said “when” and not “if”, ha!), find out what it would take for you to be entered/submitted for the in-house temp program to the company you want to work for permanently. I know quiet a few who have converted temp positions into full time placement, so I think it is worth a shot.
Side Note: If you are part of an in-house temp program, please let us know any tips you may recommend for someone looking to get in!
