Why you should join in on the rising trend of Temping

Temp work is on the rise in 2017 for Australia. If you have ever wondered about taking the leap into the life of short-term engagements, read on.

Not only is the number of temp job openings rising, but this growth is one of the biggest employment trends of the 21st century! Many employers have taken a liking to the trend due to the flexible, cost-saving nature of hiring temp workers, not to mention the chance to find rare expertise, and the opportunity to on-board talent quickly and efficiently.

Wondering if temporary assignments are suitable for you? There are numerous benefits to workers, ranging from freedom and flexibility, to expanding their skill base and network. Many workers find they earn a higher rate per hour, can often be provided with work quickly when they need it, and can even use a temp job as a beginning to getting their foot in the door with a desired employer.

Temp roles are used mostly by organisations to fill short-term gaps, and as such are often roles lasting a day, a week or perhaps a month. This often suits people working on a holiday visa, or someone returning to work after a long gap, providing a source of income whilst they search for something more stable.

In summary, the rising trend of temping provides for you:

  • Flexibility and freedom to plan holidays or breaks between jobs
  • New opportunities for income and networking
  • The possibility of stable employment with the chance that your temp role may turn into something long-term or permanent, depending on the employer
