- Questions About Temporary Jobs
Insights into Contract & Temporary Roles
Does working on temporary assignments devalue my resume?
Not at all. In fact, temporary job assignments are becoming increasingly popular in the Canadian job market. They are an ideal way to gain valuable experience at different organizations, learn new skills, and expand your professional network. Accepting temporary work also demonstrates initiative and a willingness to seize new opportunities. Many job seekers find that temporary work allows them to experience a diverse range of workplaces, preventing career stagnation.
How long do temporary assignments last?
Temporary assignments vary significantly depending on the employer and the specific role. An assignment can last as little as one day or extend up to 18 months or even longer. Common durations for temporary work assignments include 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 months, though there are many temporary jobs that fall outside these typical lengths.
Once I have completed a temporary assignment, will I be offered other jobs?
Absolutely! If your first job assignment was a positive experience for both you and the employer, your recruitment consultant will be more than happy to help you find other suitable job opportunities that align with your career goals.
Why should I accept temporary assignments?
Working in a temporary capacity offers numerous advantages. It allows you to: gain experience in various fields, discover jobs and industries you genuinely enjoy, improve your work-life balance, diversify your work experiences, find seasonal employment, and supplement your income.
Does Envy Consulting Group offer benefits to temporary employees?
This depends on the specific arrangement with the client and the duration of the assignment. Please discuss benefit eligibility for temporary roles directly with your Envy Consulting Group consultant, as options can vary.
