If you’re thinking that working temp jobs will tarnish your image, think again. According to a recent article written by Forbes Magazine, big-name American companies are hiring temporary workers at all employment levels. In fact, more than half of companies plan to use temps in professional levels over the next several years. Whether you’re a drafter looking for your next contract assignment or a production manager who has been laid off, don’t let calling yourself a “temp” deter you from some really great opportunities. Today’s employment market being what it is can take a toll on your ego, but applying for an engineering contract job shouldn’t. If you think there is a possibility of feeling lesser-than because you’re on a temporary assignment, just remember what Forbes says: “Temps…are actually super-skilled ninjas with advanced skills and strong work ethic.“
