-
Secondments can offer the chance of a fast track to responsibility, flexible contracts, and frequently lead to a permanent placement afterwards
-
In this environment, you will stretch yourself to enhance your communication skills, cultural awareness, and leadership and influencing skills
-
Assignments also enable you to get experience of a range of different companies in different sectors – convenient if you like to ‘try before you buy’ approach
-
A contracting role can also improve your future career chances by enhancing your CV. As well as the huge personal development (improved confidence) and specific accounting experience gained, it demonstrates flexibility and adaptability, plus the opportunity to build your own new network of professional contacts
-
As a result of the recent economic climate, it is becoming more common for employers to offer secondments to work on projects as they can be a more affordable and practical option, where resources are tight or where the need for a permanent hire is not yet known, such as with a start-up. Starting in a secondment capacity can be the entry point for joining a reinsurer on a permanent basis later
