Just started temp job, now offered interview for permanent job elsewhere

Microhead

Hi all

So I have just started a temp role (Full time hrs) through an agency which is expected to be 3 month role.
However, I am 5 days in to this new job and have now been offered an interview for a permanent job elsewhere next week, which I applied for a few weeks ago.

What do you think is th best way of going about, trying to attend the interview (i.e. do a sicky or just be honest with current employer) and also, do I have to give any notice to the employer/agency? This is the first time I have ever temp'd with an agency.

Thanks

Simply be honest with both employer and agency - you don't need to lie, so don't!

Read the terms of your engagement - or ask the agency. Given the length of time recruitment processes can take, you may well have plenty of time to work the rest of the 3 months before your new employer needs your services.

Best of luck!

I'd probably see if you can take the time as leave, apologise that you've just started etc but its unavoidable.

Re notice check your contract.
