Hey everyone,

I’ve been thinking about taking on some temporary construction gigs but wondering how they stack up for long-term career growth. Are temp roles a good way to get your foot in the door or just short-term hustle with no future? Have any of you built solid careers starting from temporary jobs? Do they lead to full-time offers or better networking opportunities? Curious to hear your experiences and if it’s worth the grind.
 
Temporary construction gigs can definitely help build connections and experience, especially if you're looking to get your foot in the door. Many full-time opportunities come from proving your reliability on short-term jobs.
 
I think temp gigs can be a great stepping stone if you’re consistent and show up ready to work. I’ve seen guys go from short-term labor to crew leads just by sticking with one company through different projects. Anyone here start as a temp and move up the ladder?
 
Absolutely, temp construction jobs can be a legit launchpad. A lot of companies use them to test out workers before offering full-time spots. Plus, it’s a solid way to rack up experience across different trades fast. If you’re reliable and show hustle, it usually pays off. Anyone else land a full-time role after crushing a temp gig?
 
Definitely! I started with a couple temp gigs just to get experience, and one of them turned into a steady full-time spot. If you show up, work hard, and stay consistent, a lot of crews take notice fast.
