Part Time Careers

What if you could try out different jobs and see how much you like them before actually starting in them?

Temping is a great way to find an entry level career – here’s three reasons why.

Great place to start if you have little or no network

What if you don’t have much of a network? Or have recently moved to a new city? Or are looking for entry level careers?

Temping is a great way to start building a network of individuals.

You’ll work in a variety of roles, in different companies and industries.

Keep in touch with everyone you meet – these people could be a reference to something that you would really like to be doing.

- Work on multiple streams of income for Entry Level Careers

One thing that’s been a major asset to me was having multiple streams of income.

When looking for entry level careers, and temping, there is sometimes downtime between jobs.

If this is the case, focus on ways that you can still have income coming in when you’re not working.

Online surveys and data entry are great examples of this – with little or no skill, you can be up and running in no time.

The important thing to consider is that there are many scams in this area – sometimes $30 or $40 for a proper guide to this type of work is worth the investment.

- Focus on always making a good impression.

Many temping jobs turn into full time entry level careers. You never know where you could be working, or what the potential may be.

I personally know one person who was working the temping circuit, and one day got a call for a Fortune 10 company (many using outside agencies instead of their own internal staff).

The next thing she knew, she was full time with that company and moving up the corporate ladder. Today, she is a six figure executive – all from a connection through a temping agency!
