While many people have grown up to believe that full-time employment is the safest and most stable way of getting continuous income, working as a consultant comes with a variety of benefits that are often unheard of. This is especially true when you are working with a firm such as Q Consulting in Minneapolis who truly cares about our consultants, their work placement, life situation, and overall well being.
Benefits and drawbacks come with any job situation, but today we are going to discuss four of the many benefits our consultants reap as a part of our team. For more information about Q Consulting, becoming a consultant, or partnering with Q for your business’s next project, give us a call today.
Increased Flexibility
When you work as a consultant, not only will you be able to work with a recruiter in order to find the perfect job that aligns with your background and interests, but once your contract ends, you then have another job to add to your resume to help you step up a level and try something new for your next project with Q.
We also often see our consultants get rehired by the same company if they have another project and believe the consultant is a good fit for the role. So while consulting may seem a bit insecure, it often leads to connection-building and irreplaceable advancement opportunities.
Earn More Money
Another perk that tends to draw people to consulting work is the fact that experienced consultants are generally paid very well. Due to their experience being second to none, many companies are willing to pay consultants more for short-term projects than full-time employees.
Unbeatable Networking Opportunities
Consulting is one of the best ways that you can expand not only your resume, but your network! Partnering with a consulting firm such as Q Consulting provides you with access to networking events, happy hours with other consultants who work on similar projects, and so much more. You are also constantly meeting and building a network of professional contacts during your time as a consultant.
Support Every Step of the Way
At Q Consulting, we understand how intimidating consulting can sound when all you have ever experienced is full- or part-time employment. When you work with one of our recruiters to find a job that suits your needs, we will be there for you throughout the entire process — from our initial phone call all the way until the end of your contract (and even beyond into your next one). We will always be here throughout the duration of your employment, so no matter what your needs may be, you can always rely on us to be just a text or a phone call away.
