Here are a few more tips that will make sure you get the most out of your new temporary position.
The first day of a new job is always a bit intimidating. It is helpful to do some homework so you know more about the company where you will be working. Jot down a few facts you'll need to ease yourself into the first day or two of work. Include your supervisor's name, starting time, where you're to report and rate of pay. You'll probably be given specific instructions and assigned a workspace you'll share with others.
A temporary position is a great opportunity for you to build your skill set. Get yourself involved in as many projects as you can. A great attitude can get you far so work with a smile, be helpful, and show that you're eager to learn new skills. Focus on being the type of temp you'd like to hire and work side-by-side with.
