In the last months of the year, a window of opportunities opens for temporary workers, especially in trade, industry and services. With the market heating up due to important dates such as Children's Day, Black Friday and Christmas, the number of temporary vacancies skyrockets, creating hope for both those seeking extra income and those who want to transform an opportunity into a employment permanent.
According to the Brazilian Temporary Work Association (Asserttem), around 450 thousand temporary vacancies are expected to be opened in Brazil in the last quarter of 2024.
Most of these opportunities will be concentrated in industry, which should account for 45% of hiring, followed by the services (35%) and commerce (15%) sectors.

An interesting fact is that 20% of these vacancies, or approximately 90 thousand positions, have the potential to become permanent jobs.
For many, this may be the chance to enter the job market permanently. However, competition is fierce, and you need to be prepared from the beginning of the selection process.
How to increase your chances of being hired and take advantage of temporary positions
One of the experts' main tips is to personalize your resume. Adjusting it to the position and company you're applying for can make all the difference.
An experienced recruiter takes an average of eight seconds to analyze a resume. Therefore, candidates need to briefly highlight all their strengths, regardless of the type of selection process they are participating in, whether in person or online.
For those who do not have previous experience, there are alternatives. It is possible to include activities such as volunteer work or other elements that add value to the professional profile, always highlighting skills and career objectives clearly. The idea is to show that, even without a professional history, the candidate has something to offer.
Preparing for interviews
The interview, whether in person or online, is a crucial step in the process. It is very important to present yourself appropriately, wearing clothes that are appropriate for the company you are applying for, always with your hair neatly groomed, a well-groomed beard and light, appropriate makeup.
In virtual interviews, taking care of the environment is also essential. A quiet, quiet, well-lit space helps create a professional atmosphere. Candidates should let the people in the house know about the interview and, if possible, use the background blur feature.
Additionally, testing equipment, such as the microphone and camera, before the interview can prevent problems.
Understanding Temporary Work
Working through temporary vacancies is a form of hiring regulated by specific rules, and is common during periods of seasonal demand, such as at the end of the year.
This type of contract offers temporary workers almost the same rights as employees hired for an indefinite period, but there are some important differences.
The company that hires temporary workers must guarantee safety, hygiene and health conditions, in addition to offering temporary workers the same medical and outpatient care that it provides to its permanent employees. In other words, temporary workers cannot be treated unequally in relation to the company's permanent employees.
Temporary worker rights
Temporary workers have a number of rights that must be respected, including the recording of their temporary status in their Employment and Social Security Card (CTPS). Other important rights include:
- Remuneration equal to that of employees in the same category at the service-receiving company;
- Working hours of up to 44 hours per week, with a 50% increase in overtime;
- Additional night;
- Paid weekly rest;
- 13th salary proportional to the time worked;
- Proportionate holidays;
- Work accident insurance.
If any of these rights are not met, the temporary employment relationship may be transformed into an indefinite-term contract, which guarantees the worker the same protections and labor rights as the company's other employees.
In short, temporary work offers a real opportunity for those looking to enter or return to the job market.
However, it is essential that candidates are attentive to all stages of the process, from preparing their CV to the interview, to maximize their chances of success in a competitive environment.
