Top ten ways to succeed as a temporary employee in the fast-paced staffing industry.

The Search Is On
In the interview process with our Staffing Coordinator, please be sure to specify what type of job you are looking for. Let us know the job of your dreams and we will try to make that a reality.

Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
It is important to keep the lines of communication open with your staffing coordinator. They are your inside track to job placement, payroll and benefits. The more information you share with them, the better they can assist you with all of your needs.

Dress for Success
We work with many companies, all of which have different "cultures" and environments. In order to "fit in," you will need to dress appropriately for their environment. If in doubt as to what you should wear, always dress up rather than down. Never neglect proper hygiene.

"Can Do" Attitude
Not only have a "can-do" attitude, but a "will-do" attitude while on an assignment! It is important that you give 100% during your workday. Be flexible to work past 5pm, if necessary, in order to assist the client in completing the work.

Hands Off!
There are certain things that are off limits to temporary employees. One should never use the company equipment for personal use. This includes the fax machine, photocopier, email or Internet, or telephone for making personal calls.

"The Early Bird Gets the Worm"
First impressions can make or break you. Always be punctual, if not early, for your assignment. Allow yourself extra time to find a new work site or drive by the day before to ensure you are there on time.

Scout It Out
If you have finished the assigned work that was given to you, ask for something else to do. You may be able to learn new skills, meet new people or offer some valuable input. Consider your spare time as an opportunity to learn! Always volunteer for a new challenge.

Mums the Word
Often times, temporaries are exposed to confidential information on the job. It is very important not to discuss or share this with others. It is an ethical responsibility you have to the client and to RSG.

Give It a Shot
Be open-minded and flexible about possible job assignments. Our Staffing Coordinators build rapport with our employees and sometimes feel they have a company and skill match that would be a great fit for you. Be open to opportunities that you may not have thought of yourself. You never know what you could be missing out on!
