For those focused on career progression, temporary work can be a great solution. It offers a way to develop your network, learn new skills and gain experience. In today’s blog post, we give the spotlight over to our Lavan, our temp-to-perm Coopler. Hear Lavan’s story and discover how temporary work can support you too!
Lavan joined the Coople community in 2021. Upon joining Coople, his goal was to find a long-term office job for his career progression. Thanks to his previous experience in the office sector, Lavan was hired as a temporary Technical Support Specialist with JustEat before joining their permanent team in 2022.
“I joined Coople last year because I was interested in the idea of temporary work. The flexibility was a huge benefit and the weekly pay seemed like a great advantage. My first role was with JustEat as a Technical Support Specialist. Since it was my first time working with an agency, it was really exciting seeing this role develop from something temporary into a long-term opportunity.”
“I used to work in the office sector, so I had a lot of relevant previous experience. Additionally, when I first applied, I told the hiring manager that I was looking for a stable opportunity. I think this helped me to stand out amongst the other candidates. After working temporarily for a few months, I transitioned into a permanent employee. Looking back, I’ve had a lot of fun along the way. I met a great team of fellow temporary workers during my trial shifts and now they’re my colleagues, so it’s been an enjoyable journey.”

“It’s been eye-opening to work with different tools. Similar to any new role, there’s a slight learning curve. It takes time to settle in, but I’ve been enjoying myself a lot.”
“Be punctual, work hard and you will be rewarded. If you’re not putting in the effort, you’re not going to get anywhere. Try your best and be open-minded because there’s lots of opportunities for career progression, even within temporary work.”
