When I was at college I had a seasonal job working for the post office during the holidays. Christmas and Hanukah meant that there was lots of extra work needing to be done. Even in a recession it’s still the season to be merry and that means extra work for someone whether you’re a driver or a party-planner!
So how does this help your job transition?
Firstly, a temporary job can lead to a permanent job. Working in a retail store or for a hotel you will be a prime candidate for a new job if one comes up.
Secondly, you may take a job to see how you like it. Working for FedEx where you have a lot of customer contact, a fast pace with regular hours and benefits may be a whole lot better than other jobs you have had in the past, but you might not know for sure until you try it out.
Thirdly, you never know whom you are going to meet. Juan (not his real name) works for FedEx and delivers on the Beverly Hills run. He gets to meet a lot of people in the movie business, as well as other industries. He’s friendly and good at his job so people trust him. Now if he also happened to be an inspiring screenwriter who knows what could happen. It could be another story like Antwone Fisher who worked as a security guard and through the people he met at his job got his script made into a movie.
And thirdly, who says that a little extra cash won’t help your career change. A coaching client of mine, got a part-time temporary job at The Great Outdoors, and made some money and was eligible to get staff discount. Many stores offer staff discount, with certain restrictions, including Crate and Barrel, Macy’s and Ross.
