1. The Search Is On
During the interview process with our Recruiter, please be sure to specify what type
of job you are looking for. Tell us about the job of your dreams and we will try to
make it a reality.
2. Communicate, Communicate
It is important to keep the lines of communication open with your Recruiter. They
are your inside track to job placement, payroll and benefits. The more information
you share with them, the better they can assist you with all of your needs.
3. Dress For Success
We work with many companies, all of which have different "cultures" and environments.
In order to "fit in," you will need to dress appropriately for their environment.
If in doubt as to what you should wear, always dress up rather than down. Never
neglect proper hygiene.
4. "Can Do" Attitude
You should have not only have a "can-do" attitude, but a "will-do" attitude while
on an assignment! It is important that you give 100% during your workday. Be flexible
to work past 5pm, if necessary, in order to assist the client in completing the
work.
5. Hands Off!
There are certain things that are off limits to temporary employees. One should
never use the company equipment for personal use. This includes the fax machine,
photocopier, email, Internet or telephone for making personal calls.
6. The Early Bird Gets The Worm
First impressions can make or break you. Always be punctual, if not early, for your
assignment. Allow yourself extra time to find a new work site or drive by the day
before to ensure you are there on time.
7. Scout It Out
If you have finished the assigned work, ask for something else to do. You may be
able to learn new skills, meet new people or offer some valuable input. Consider
your spare time as an opportunity to learn! Always volunteer for a new challenge.
8. Mum’s The Word
Temporaries are often exposed to confidential information on the job. You have an
ethical responsibility to the client and NSR not to discuss or share confidential
information with others.
9. Give It A Shot
Be open-minded and flexible about possible job assignments. Our Recruiters build
rapport with our employees and sometimes feel they have a company and skill match
that would be a great fit for you. Be open to opportunities that you may not have
thought of yourself. You never know what you could be missing out on!
10. Live It Up!
Take advantage of everything that NSR has to offer you. We have an excellent
benefit package, placements into top companies in the area, networking opportunities
and computer training programs.
