Accepting temporary work also demonstrates that you are determined to seize new opportunities. Some job seekers also find that temporary work assignments allow them to experience a diverse range of workplaces, ensuring they're never bored.

Temporary assignments will vary depending on the employer and the role. A temporary assignment can last as little as one day and be as long as 18 months. Common lengths for temp work assignments include 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 months, though there's plenty of temp jobs that don't fit into any of these.
