Many people dream of turning their part-time job into a more permanent full-time role. This is especially true if they are in need of the benefits of a full-time job, such as a salary and health insurance. Other times, it’s to increase earnings or advance in a career. Whatever the case may be for you, here are four ways you can fast track your way from a part time career to a full time career in very little time.

Show Your Energy/Dedication and Always Be Willing to Help

As a part-time employee, you can show enthusiasm and a commitment to the company by always demonstrating positive energy and dedication. Be willing to jump in and help whenever you can. Your peers and supervisor will notice this willingness to help and are more likely to offer you more hours. If you are willing to take on extra tasks or even complete tasks that no one else wants to complete, then you get a great opportunity to complete those tasks well and highlight your abilities.

Generate Ideas to Solve Office Problems (Give Them in the Appropriate Way)

Just because you are working part-time hours doesn’t mean that you can’t contribute just as much as your peers to the outcome of your company. Be known as someone who is able to think creatively to solve problems and come up with new ideas. Focus on factors that can improve efficiency in the office and improve the way things are done. Never come across as a know-it-all but offering your insight and solutions in the right situation will show that you’re more committed to the company than just collecting a paycheck.

Be a Great Team Player in Every Situation

When you focus on being a team player rather than working in a silo, you will be seen as part of the main things instead of working in the shadows. If you want to be offered a full-time job, then you will have to work hard to be seen as an MVP on your team. Learn to become an expert in your area and be the go-to person for information and support.

Have an Attitude that You Want to Work there in the Long Term

From the time you begin your part-time job and throughout your experience, be sure to mention to your supervisor that you desire a full-time opportunity when one comes up. Be able to closely monitor job postings not posted publicly by checking internal job boards. When you voice your desire to work full-time, then you’ll be the first in line to be thought of when the job becomes available.
