Like many individuals across the UK, you may have found yourself questioning your career direction during the pandemic.

With redundancy having spiked and furlough being something that we’re all a little too familiar with, there is no shock that, on average, a whopping 60% of us have considered a career change in the past year.

So, whether you’re looking for a change in direction, to up your skills in a certain area, or even seasonal work, this is where temporary work can come into play.

And if you’re looking for work, be it permanent or temporary, the Hull-based, independent Recruitment Agency, Reach Resourcing can help place you in the ideal position for you in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, and beyond.

Why can I benefit from temporary work?

A temporary position can help to enhance both your skillset and CV, which is great news for workers in Hull, says Reach Resourcing.

Temporary work is one of the most easily misunderstood pieces of the future of work, but it has a vital role to play.

Temporary work has a plethora of benefits, from enhancing a varied skill set to increased flexibility, and the ability to test the waters before committing to a full-time contract.

There are certainly many positive reasons as to why temporary work could be for you.

You are ultimately in control of your career, and it can be far easier to take career breaks, focus on a hobby or re-train – especially if you are interested by seasonal work.
