Temporary work has become a career in its own right, with more professional temps than ever before. It is no longer just the stop-gap between permanent jobs that it used to be - and here's why.

Better pay
In today's buoyant market, temps are much in demand, and many candidates find they can be paid more as a temp than a permanent person in the same position. Don't forget as a temp, you are paid for every hour you work and not just a set salary; so the more you work the more you can earn.

Holiday pay
Since the introduction of the European legislation, the working time directive, temporary staff are entitled to paid holiday - up to four weeks per year. At Travel Trade Recruitment, your holiday pay will be incorporated into your hourly rate.

Increase your skills
Temping is excellent for broadening your skill set. Most temporary positions will introduce something new to your CV. Whether it is a new skill or expanding the experience you have already gained, you could discover a completely different area of strength.

Develop your commercial experience in different industries
Gain business experience of working within different sectors e.g. tour operations or business travel; often, popular industry sectors require similar experience for permanent jobs; temps can get in by the back door.

Change of direction
Temporary work can be an opportunity to try a different job without any commitment. This means that you have a unique opportunity to try out different vocations that might interest you.

Identify new opportunities
If you are looking for a new permanent position, temporary work could be a way in through the back door. If new vacancies arrive whilst you are temping in a particular company, you may find yourself in the best position to approach managers regarding them. You may find you are approached regarding other permanent opportunities that you may not have considered or heard about. The job could be yours before the company even thinks about advertising it!

Flexibility
Temporary work gives you control over your working life. Assignments range from one day, to over a year, with any length of time in-between. This means that if you want to work for six months and travel, or work in school term time and take holidays off, you can.

The Travel Trade Temps Team have vacancies available with some of the leading names in travel throughout the UK.

As soon as you register your details, we will start to look for suitable work for you.
