One of my favorite job blogs, Jobacle.com, has posted a great article sighting that temporary gigs are the new permanent spots.

Working at a recruiting firm gives me insight into how true this point truly is. Pyramid Consulting Group is always searching for candidates who are open to taking temporary positions.  Whether it’s filling in for someone on maternity leave or a newly created position on trial – these positions have their benefits.

  1. Get your foot in the door and make some connections
  2. Gain experience in your field or new field of interest
  3. If you’re thinking about changing career paths temping is a great “taste test”
  4. Make some extra money while searching for a permanent position
  5. There is always the opportunity that the temp position will go permanent

According to the Wall Street Journal, referenced by The Jobable, the usage of temps has grown, citing that “temporary-help payrolls have risen for 11 of the past 12 months, with the sector adding 16.900 jobs in September.”

If you’re currently looking for temporary work and have open availability please let us know. Send your resume to resumes@pyramidcg.com and we will be in touch if a temp position presents itself! Don’t forget to include “Temp” in the subject.
