An article in The Wall Street Journal in its February 9, 2010 issue, “Making a Temporary Stint Stick” by Melissa Korn on page D6 states that “With provisional jobs on the rise, becoming a full-time hire takes some effort.”
Jody Miller, chief executive of Business Talent Group, a Los Angeles interim-executive placement firm, says she saw 50% increase in request for temporary talent in 2009 over 2008. Examples are included in this article describing how individuals have obtained permanent positions from temporary slots. Keys to their successes are clear: prove yourself to be a performer and let the bosses know that you would like to have a permanent job!
I encourage temporary workers to become irreplaceable. If you are a temporary worker who has become a permanent employee, please share your experiences with others in this blog.
Thanks! Glyn
