A general labour position is a great way to gain experience and build your resume.
Are you in between jobs? Off from school in the summer? Or just graduated and not sure where you’re headed? Why not consider a job as a General Labourer?
A general labour position is a great way to gain experience and build your resume. If you’re a summer student or a recent grad, now is the perfect time to boost your resume and show employers that you have actual on-the-job experience. Most employers appreciate any kind of work experience as it helps you build important soft skills that are needed to be successful regardless of where you end up working.
Even if you graduated from your program with flying colours, if you do not have the interpersonal skills and communication skills it takes to work in a team environment, then finding and keeping a position in your field may not be probable. In a general labour position, you will likely be working on a team of labourers to achieve a common goal which can help you build soft skills that can go a long way in helping to grow your career. You will learn skills such as, problem-solving, relationship building, organizational, and communication skills. A general labour position also gives you the opportunity to learn your strengths and weaknesses so that you know which skills you may need to work on.
Every job you have is about building connections and developing relationships as you never know which contact you will run into down the road. Not only does having a general labour position give you the opportunity to potentially get hired for another full-time permanent role, but it also gives you the opportunity to meet new people and network to build lifetime connections; this is especially true if you’re applying for a general labourer position through a staffing agency like Nexus Staffing. Once you have built a rapport with a staffing agency, you can continue to request interviews for temporary, temp-to-perm, or permanent roles in the field you are looking for.
