How a temporary/flexible job can change your life
Flexible/Temporary jobs have been misjudged for a long time in our society. The idea that proper jobs are performed by those in collar shirts at the office from 9 to 6 was the rule people insisted to follow.
Not anymore. And we needed a pandemic to show us that. The flexibility gained by working from home and the idea of not having a clear routine made many people rethink their working patterns.
Not surprisingly, now that remote working is no longer mandatory, many people don't feel entirely comfortable with the idea of a 9-6 routine anymore. Not only because of the time but also because they are looking for self-development. They want to learn different skills and beat challenges and get a sense of realisation that goes beyond their office jobs.
If this is your case, this blog is for you. Because it's 2022, and it's time to change our perception of temporary work. Yes, flex jobs can change your life, and we tell you why:
You learn to be on your own
When was the last time you spent time on your own? Having temporary jobs usually means changing your colleagues quite frequently, which means you’ll be your main companion most of the time.
Learning to be on your own helps your ability to overcome challenges and reduce your stress by the simple fact that you’ll be free to hear your own voice. Your inner voice. Being on your own means you’ll need to live with your own silence. And you’ll be surprised by how many amazing things you can discover in that.
You gain life-changing skills
You know what skills are expected from you when starting a job, and you also know you’ll learn some other skills once you get used to your activity. However, there are some hidden skills that are also part of your temporary job that not many people talk about, and are extremely important from a professional and personal aspect.
A good example of these skills is organisation. Shift jobs usually need a clear organisation to make sure everything runs smoothly for the following shift, and so on. Focus and concentration are other life-changing skills that you can easily pick up when working temp jobs.
You learn to be present and to trust the process
Working in shifts helps you focus on the present moment. There’s no need to think or stress about tomorrow or the following month. Your focus there is to complete your shift with excellence. And tomorrow will be a different day.
The shift mentality makes it easier to see things as cycles, meaning you learn to trust the process and go with the flow.
You understand autonomy means responsibility…
Autonomy is a powerful word, but often people forget it means responsibility. You’ll never proof your autonomy if you can’t proof your sense of responsibility. When performing a flex job, you develop a strong sense of ownership and responsibility, and those, together, will give you the right autonomy to fly higher!
… and flexibility means freedom
By being autonomous and responsible, you’ll be able to organise your routine in a way you have time to spend with your family, your friends, and yourself. By working flexibly, you’re free to organise your life the way you want it to be.
