| | Should You Seek Temporary Or Contractual Employment While Searching?Written by David Richter
According to US Department of Labor statistics, average time to find employment is roughly six months. It could take as little as four to six weeks, or as long as ten to twelve months, or longer. Several factors determine your time to placement: • Degrees • Current state of employment • Age • Level of experience • Level of salary • Type of position you're seeking • Level of position being sought • Desired salary level • Location • Industry • Your resume • Your interview skills • Networking effort • Degree of career transition No one knows how long they will be unemployed. Even a person with sufficient funds to last their entire period of unemployment may still want to consider a temporary or contractual assignment as an interim solution. The loss in income can have an unforeseeable psychological impact. Other concerns that need to be addressed include: • Loss of confidence • Losing familiarity with day-to-day responsibilities • Boredom • Creating employment gaps in resume • More expensive health benefits • Minimal professional interactions • No opportunity to convert a temporary position into a permanent one The rule of thumb is: if you have been searching unsuccessfully for two months and find yourself no further ahead than when you became unemployed, I would encourage you to seek temporary employment or a contractual assignment. More and more people are engaging in this type of activity, including former CEO's. In fact, there has been a twenty percent increase in number of people working part-time since 2001.
