As a colleague of mine and I discussed the latest chapter in my book, he described the difference between a permanent and temporary position. With the understanding, I immediately compared it to a relationship.
" A date is simply a date" You aren't signing into a one-year agreement, nor do you have to spend the rest of your life with this person. It's more like a tenant at will but instead of having to give a months notice, you can simply walk away at any given time.
Out of college, a candidate is often looking for a job to jump start their career. Consider this a "first love". What is the probability that they will stay with that job long term? Well, factoring the individual, the job, the location, the chances are as slim to none. They will always remember their "first love".
What worked? What didn't? Certaintly the individual becomes a little bit more selective in the job search. Instead of jumping into a relationship, they may want to "feel" a company out as "temporary" and after a period of time, discuss the future and growth between the individual and the company, as well as the company and its market. Would a company be more interested in hiring a 50 yr old or a 26 year old. Productivity would lean towards youth, but with principles and knowledge, age would be the likely candidate.
