Temporary jobs

The advantages of temporary work

Temporary work offers opportunities that a permanent job does not. For some, it is a real lifestyle choice. A study by Swissstaffing (an organization representing the Swiss association of employment service providers) demonstrated that 40% of temporary workers deliberately choose this type of work.

Temporary work allows you to change jobs, companies and colleagues frequently, thereby avoiding routine. It also offers a certain form of independence and the ability to gain significant experience. For others, this type of work represents a temporary solution whilst waiting for a permanent job. The same study also showed that approximately 50% of those who accept a temporary assignment as an alternative, land a permanent contract within the following 12 months.
