Just land a temporary job this holiday season? Congratulations! But, as a leading temporary employment agency in Dade County, Future Force can tell you if you’re hoping it turns into something full-time, there are a few things you have to do in order to impress your boss. Here’s a look:
Work hard.
This sounds so simple and yet, there are so many workers out there who do the bare minimum and complain the entire way. Don’t be one of them! Work hard at every assignment your boss gives you. A strong work ethic is one of the biggest factors managers want – and look for – when they’re hiring full-time employees.
Be on time.
Nothing screams “unprofessional” like showing up late. So get to your new job on time on the very first day and every day after. Make sure you know where you’re supposed to go and whom you’re reporting to. Also, wear clothing that is appropriate for the environment in which you’ll be working.
Bring a notebook.
Who knows what will be thrown at you that very first day? So bring a notebook with you to write it down. If your boss is going over a certain process or procedure, they likely don’t want to have to do it again because you can’t remember. To avoid this, take notes and ask questions when you need clarification.
Follow the rules.
Rules were made to be broken – by those who don’t want a full-time job! When you’re in your new temporary job, follow all the procedures, including safety rules, guidelines for clocking in and taking breaks, and any other rules your boss gives you.
And if you don’t follow the rules? You’ll wind up appearing childish – certainly not the kind of person worthy of consideration for a full-time job.
Be friendly.
Sure, it can be intimidating walking into a new job as a temp. But hold your head high and be friendly with everyone you come in contact with – including co-workers and customers. People will want to continue working with you when you have a good attitude and are pleasant to be around.
A final note: If there are days you’re going to be late, or you wake up sick, contact your employment agency or your boss right away. They’ll appreciate the heads up and your professional behavior.
