Now Might Be The Time To Ask...

Now Might Be The Time To Ask... Did you have a seasonal job over the holidays? Did you love that job and wish it could last longer? Now might be the time to ask if there are any openings in a full- or part-time position. Heres why: You have been a part of the team as a temp worker, so you know the ropes You are a familiar face hopefully, a good impression has been made You can suggest ways your assets can be a good fit for their goals Your paperwork is already on file Even if they do not have a way to fit you in right now, ask that your resume be kept on file and that you be alerted to openings in the future. If there is a way to stay in touch with what is happening at the company like a newsletter get on the list.  There are common mistakes to avoid in a job search, like  neglecting your current temporary job to try and snag a better one. Just because a job is temporary does not mean it is unimportant, and the networking effects of doing a good job linger. The reality is that everything you do the interactions you have and the memories you leave behind at a seasonal job still count. Its part of your resume, and its part of your reputation. If you have been doing a good job at a temporary position, you will be remembered positively when you submit your application for a permanent one. Good luck!
