What I suggest :: 1.  Get to know everyone in the company, and let them get to know you. What are their career goals? Where did they come from? How long have they been with 'said' company?  What other companies have they worked for? 2.  Work your tail off and show how committed you are.  You don't have to be committed to a company necessarily ..but you do have to be committed to doing a great job on the assignment - to the end. 3.  Show interest for more. Get involved in networking events. This may take a bit of your free time but it will pay off.  Everyone knows someone who knows someone.  Get out there and meet those 2nd and 3rd connections. 4.  Finally, connect to all of your temporary co-workers on LinkedIn.  Request recommendations from them. Keep in touch with them long after your assignment.  As your career develops, so will theirs.  Those contacts may pay off big in 5 years. Bottom line?  Take advantage of every opportunity that you are given.  Nothing is minimal unless you insist it to be.  The opportunities are out there and the time is yours.  Do as I did/do…. OWN IT!!! … I'm Shannon, your personal LinkedIn Advisor, Staffing Consultant & Online Marketing Strategist! Over the last few years, I have been working diligently on establishing my own

Sorry folks. A recruiter is someone who finds candidates to fill jobs, not someone who finds jobs to employ candidates. This is a very key mistake that many people make. Always do your research before contacting someone so you are aware of their position at the company they work for.  Make sure that you visit a company's career page and if possible apply online before asking questions regarding jobs.  Doing a little bit of homework beforehand will speed up the process and put less of a burden on the person you're asking for help. If folks wanted their email address to be public knowledge, they'd put it right on their profile (and many of them do, so please check there first!). Instead of wasting someone's time and having them search their contacts, run a search yourself. You can easily find out the answer and then send an introduction request to the person (or perhaps someone else in your network) who can introduce you to the perfect target contact. After all, only you know the reason why you want to reach out and who the best contact person at that company might be. Great! But please note that I have not worked for "Acme" Company in seven years, so an interview with me won't get you very far… Oops! Please read my profile carefully before reaching out for help. Resume writing is a very time-intensive process that requires two-way discussion, extensive editing and re-writing, etc. Professional Resume Writers charge big bucks for their services because it's no easy task. Often times, these requests are intentionally vague, asking for time on my busy calendar, yet not disclosing the reason for the meeting. It would be much more professional and fort
