In the article “Contract Employment: A Calculated Risk Worth Taking” author Heather Labuki’s main idea is to offer assistance to people who are looking for contract work. These reasons are streamlined for a better understanding as to why professionals opt for contract work.
Here are the reasons:
l Get your foot in the door: Even though most professional have a particular employer, the roles he does full time do not align with the experience level of the expert.
l Boost your resume and fill the gaps: Even though professionals like permanent work a difference in their resume make them consider applying their skills in a contract role to fill the gap and try new industries.
l Flexible work arrangement: The desire for more flexibility in restructuring the professional working hours have pushed more professionals to get in to contract work to achieve it.
l Don’t make too many backward steps: When filling a contract role, candidates with more experience are often looked by employers than they would for a permanent position.
Finally, it is evident that the stigma associated with contract work is fading away and therefore if one has marketable skills, temporary work is quite lucrative and rewarding.
Based on the information in this article, here are the recommendations:
l Contract work should offer an excellent opportunity to acquire a variety of skills for less-skilled employees.
l It should expose employees to a wide range of commercial experience to broaden on their resume.
l In contract work, it is easier to schedule time off. It is not necessary to stick to the company’s schedule.
l There should be more payment due to uncertainty and flux associated with contract work.////
