Are you looking for a new permanent opportunity and struggling to find the right one for you?  Have you been out of work for a while and you’re not sure what step to take next?  Job hunting is extremely difficult, especially with the added worry of that unemployment gap on your CV getting bigger and bigger, so why not add value to your CV by the demonstration of temporary work placements?

Temporary work placements are a great way of adding greater depth to your CV, proving your willingness to be flexible and showing a commitment to furthering your experience and widening your range of skill set.  Temporary workers can add great value to a company, providing flexibility and a convenient solution for both employee and candidate.

Temporary work can provide candidates with  a great way to further their experience of different working environments, whilst also helping to keep you in the work place and helping build on your confidence.  It can alternatively be a helpful route in finding your way back into employment after a significant period out of work, opening the door to potential further permanent opportunities, whilst providing a way to gradually ease yourself in.
