1 Assess Fit

When considering temporary or contract work, it's vital to evaluate whether the role aligns with your career goals and lifestyle. Consider the potential impact on your work-life balance and professional development. For instance, short-term positions can offer exposure to diverse medical practices, but may not provide the depth of experience you seek. Reflect on how each opportunity contributes to your long-term objectives, and don't hesitate to ask prospective employers about the specifics of the role, including expectations and support available for transitioning staff.

5 Self-Care Priority

Temporary and contract work can be unpredictable, sometimes leading to burnout if not managed well. Prioritize self-care by setting boundaries around your availability and ensuring you have adequate downtime between assignments. Develop a routine that includes regular exercise, healthy eating, and stress-reducing activities. Taking care of your physical and mental health is crucial for maintaining the energy and focus needed to excel in demanding medical roles.

6 Plan Ahead

Finally, planning ahead is critical for anyone in temporary or contract medical positions. Keep your resume updated and maintain a portfolio of your work and accomplishments. Anticipate potential gaps in employment by saving a portion of your income and scouting for new opportunities well before your current contract ends. By being proactive and prepared, you can transition smoothly between roles and maintain financial stability even when not actively engaged in a contract.

Transitioning from a steady "day" job (which often included night shifts) to providing support to businesses and organizations through contract work required a significant shift in my mindset. When working with contracts, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of the project's end date and the possibility of renewal. If renewal is not an option, it's essential to plan ahead and line up new contract work to begin immediately after the current one concludes. This approach helps with a smooth transition between projects and maintains a stable income stream. Furthermore, it's important to continuously up-skill so that each time you move on to the next opportunity, you have expanded your skillset and increased your value.
