Turn Your Seasonal Job Into a Full-Time Gig!

Seasonal employment positions can be a great way to gain experience, find work in between full-time positions, and have job flexibility.

Turn your seasonal job into a full-time opportunity!

During your seasonal assignment, you may find yourself wanting to stay as a permanent employee.  While there are no guarantees, there are ways to help increase your chances of being asked to be a permanent member of the team:

  • Get results. Deliver results as if you were a permanent part of the team already. Remember that the number one reason you have been brought aboard is to get work done, so be as efficient and productive as possible. Take notes during meetings and follow up to learn as much as possible about your job and organization, so that you can excel in your role. If you have to stay late, do it and don’t complain. On the flip side, don’t show up late or leave a few minutes early. You want to look interested and engaged in the position.
  • Look the part. How you dress as a seasonal employee should be no different than that of full-time employees. Always ask about an office dress code before starting a new position. And if you see other employees straying from the code, be sure to adhere to it closely anyway. If you want to become a permanent member of the team, details count!
  • Take a genuine interest in the company. Become involved in meetings by taking notes and asking follow up questions. Make suggestions and contributions to discussions, and show genuine concern for the future of the organization. Be sure to stay smiling and don’t be phony when interacting with co-workers.
  • Be a part of the team. Be sure to learn and remember people’s names and understand their roles in the company. This will make you more personable, but will also help you understand your role within the company. At lunch or during breaks, don’t be afraid to discuss your career plans with co-workers. When assessing candidates and seasonal employees, management may talk to members of the team for their input. Getting to know your co-workers and being a member of the team makes it much more likely management will consider you a part of the team too.
