How An Accountant Can Move From A Temporary To A Permanent Position

The job of an accountant is one of the most stressful jobs on the planet, especially because such an employee is dealing with the most sensitive aspect of every organization – the money. Therefore, hiring an accountant, whether permanent or temporary, is a headache because you have to get the perfect fit.

Temporary accounting workhas its benefits, but not all temporary accountants want to remain in that same position. The following is what most temporary accountants do to become permanent.

They Do More Than Is Expected

If a temporary accountant does what the permanent one does, he or she will never attract any attention. In addition to accomplishing the assigned task perfectly and in a timely manner, a temporary accountant should do extra to get the job. Employees who move from temp to perm always ask “what else can I do?”

They Become Irreplaceable

A temp can cause the people at the top of an organization to change the structure to accommodate him or her. By acquiring further skills and knowledge and implementing new and efficient methods of doing the job makes a temp receive a renewed contract. Whether such an individual will go back to school or apply something they learned in another organization, real change is always welcome.

They Become Part Of The Team

A temporary accountant usually has a short period to understand how the team works, let alone complete the assignment at hand. One way of becoming part of the team is by breaking the ice as early as possible, and this involves making friends with the new colleagues and attending social functions with them outside work. When employers consider a temp to be part of the team, chances of letting them go will be slim.

They Ask For TheJob

Whether they choose to ask for the job directly or indirectly, temporary employees who eventually become permanent make their intentions clear. An average temporary accountant who shows interest in joining the organization will have a better chance of becoming permanent when compared to a great accountant who shows no interest.
