Don’t be deterred by the word “temporary”. Temp jobs could go on for a long period of time. Sometimes temporary jobs go on for months at a time. It all depends on what the company requires.
Many of Liberty Staffing’s jobs are temporary to permanent opportunities. This means that you will have the ability to showcase your skills and talents in the workplace in a temporary setting with the hopes of being permanently hired on later.
