What is the best way to find permanant work and stop temping?

I currently work through a temporary employment agency. I would like to find a permanant job and stop temping, but for some reason no companies have seemed interested in somebody who does temp work. What can I do?

I disagree with you. You can try a permanent employment agency but from my vast experience dealing with people, companies who hire temps are happy to observe them for prospective full time jobs.





You can always start by not treating your temporary jobs as such. So often temps don't adhere to the companies' protocols and dress codes. They show a lack of interest beyond gettting their time sheets signed at the end of the week and observance of that kind of behaviour is always noted.





Show that you care, be prompt, be interested in learning new skills and that you take a serious interest in the company(ies) by reading and gathering information about them. Let the head of personnel know that you are interested in a full time position and apply for any position that you may be suited for. Ask questions but don't be a pest.





Let me let in you in on a secret. I have much work experience, education and skills so I can share this with you. In 1973 we were in a deep recession in NYC and I was forced to work as a temp. I worked for a respected Temp Agency and within 2 weeks at 3 different companies I was offered a full time job. I started at a Nationwide Car Rental Company, then I went on to a well known Cosmetics and Fragrance Company and finally I ended up at a top Black Fashion %26amp; Beauty Magazine where I was so happy that when the offer came I jumped at it. By the time I left, I was Asst. Controller.





Currently, I earn substantial income as a permanent part-timer at a construction company. I started with 2 days per week at $15. an hr. for 6 hours per day (that was not easy for me, I am in the $50 plus per hr. range) but I needed some steady work and income because I had just started a new home business and the income was nominal at the time. I was hired to file and answer phones. Now I take care of 3 executives and I am well paid. I took the time to get involved, learnt all I could on my own about the company and the industry, so when I asked for more hours, responsibilites and money, I made a good presentation and I got it.





I hope my experince and counsel helps.
Reply:There are a few things you could do:





1. Find out if the temp agency you work for offers any temp-to-hire positions. If they don't, you may want to look for a temp agency that does.





2. Learn to market and sell your skills and qualifications. What sets you apart from others and makes you a good hire?





3. Have confidence! Thinking that you will get something you want is about 75% of the battle. Read some self-improvement books (I highly recommend Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" - check it out from your local library).





4. Don't give up! Just taking action will help you learn and grow. You may not get some of the jobs you interview for, but you will have the experience of the interview and can work to get better each time.





Best wishes to your success,
