\"consultants5\"Operating as an Interim Project Manager<\/a><\/strong> requires a different skill set to that of a regular employee. Here are 10 ways to guarantee success as an Interim….<\/p>\n

1) Be flexible<\/strong> – the more flexibility you can exhibit in terms of daily rate, location and job role the more opportunities will come your way.<\/p>\n

2) Put the Client first<\/strong> – always act in a professional manner and put the needs of the client first. This will pay off to your benefit in the long term.<\/p>\n

3) Make a great impression<\/strong> – find something which needs fixing early on and do it, then tell everyone you’ve done it. A good impression early on reassures the client they have made the right choice.<\/p>\n

4) Fit in\u00a0 to the Culture<\/strong> – If everyone wears a suit and a tie do likewise, if its casual dress on a Friday adopt this code. If you can fit in to the culture you will become “part of the furniture”<\/p>\n

5) Avoid politics<\/strong> – this is one of the many benefits of interim work, you really don’t need to get involved.<\/p>\n

6) Add Value<\/strong> – whatever the role make sure the client is getting their money’s worth.<\/p>\n

7) Get on with everyone<\/strong> – it’s not that difficult, you’re not going to be there forever so don’t make enemies.<\/p>\n

8) Act as a guest<\/strong> – you are a guest of your client, act like one.<\/p>\n

9) Know when its time to g0<\/strong> – don’t prolong your term for monetary gain, when your job is done leave. The client will appreciate this more than anything and seriously consider you for a future role.<\/p>\n

10) Network <\/strong>– take the opportunity to expand your network and get some referrals.<\/p>\n
