In June, the Labor Department reported that the U.S. had had more temporary workers than ever before: 2.7 million to be exact. If you’re one of them – and looking for your next gig – here are 4 tips for finding it:
Tip #1: Reach Out to Your Network
As one of Miami’s leading temp employment agencies, Future Force can tell you that tapping into your network to find your next temporary job assignment is a great first place to start. You can call, email, or simply talk to your contacts when you see them.
Another option for reaching out to your network is to use social media tools, like LinkedIn. You can broadcast your job search to all your connections. Or you can use the “search” tool to find companies you’d like to work for and then see if anyone in your circle is a current or past employee and would be willing to recommend you. When you’re referred to a hiring manager by someone they know, they will be much more likely to bring you on board.
Tip #2: Use Web Resources
There are countless places to find jobs using the Internet, from online job boards like Indeed to company specific career websites. Many social media sites, like LinkedIn and Twitter, are also helpful places to look during your job search. If you have a company in mind that you’d like to work for, then follow them on their social media networks so you know quickly when new jobs are posted.
Tip #3: Subscribe to Industry Publications
Whether online or in print, industry publications are just another source for job opportunities. So whatever industry you work in, subscribe to a few of the top journals and regularly check them for job postings. In the process, you’ll also be able to stay up-to-date on the latest happenings in your industry, which will serve you well in a job interview.
Tip #4: Connect With a Temporary Employment Agency
If you’d like help from the experts, then connect with a temp employment agency. Reputable agencies work with a host of companies in many fields and will be able to connect you with assignments that are a good match for your background, skills, and career goals.
