I'm working for a med. size company under a job agency for 3 weeks. Is it too early to ask whether I'll be offered a full time position or not? I'm very eagle on getting a full time and I will have an interview on the coming Friday. I told my interviewer over the phone I'm working as a temp for a company right now and it should be ended in around 6 more weeks. (The agency told me the assignment is a 2 month assignment at the beginning).
Since, I really have no clue whether they will hire temp (me) to be a full time perm. or not, I don't want to lose the opportunity of getting a full time position. For the first 3 days of work, my supervisor kept saying I'm a bit slow and such and such, but she did not say that anymore after the first 3 days. Thus they (the co-workers as well) taught me a lot on the software they are using right now.
I really like the company I'm working for right now, what should I do in order to see the chance of become a full time here?

I felt anxious whenever I heard my co-workers chatting. I'm working at accounting department of a company and I'm not sure ppl are busy becoz of month end or it's becoz something go wrong with they data entry or computer system. (Hoping it's not my fault; but I really very nervious whenever I heard ppl chatting about the problems with the system)
I think I'm giving too much pressure on myself. . . but how can I tell whether the company is going to offer me a perm. full time position or not? Can someone give me a brief idea is there any signals or specific things going to talk about in order to know if they are going to hire me or not?

Companies often hold out the possiblity of full-time employment to make temps work harder. Maybe they are really considering this, but they may simply not have the work for a full-time staff member.

From experience, companies hire temps because they can't make a decision about whether to hire a full-time person or not.

If you are looking for full-time work you should go to the other job interview. See what they are offering. If you are offered a job there, then you will feel confident to talk to manager where you are now about getting a full-time job.

To impress you boss, work hard, but not too hard. Offer to help people when you have some free time. Ask questions about the company. But whatever you do, don't be too pushy in doing this.

If they choose not to make you full-time, when you leave tell everyone how much you liked working there, make sure the boss has your phone number and email.

Remember getting a good job is a numbers game, you can't win them all, but eventually will you find the right opportunity.

Good luck

Schedule your interview with another company if it is a full time job during weekend or after work. They will accommodate your request if it is a good company.
If you get hired by this company tell the hiring manager that you will be available in two weeks (15 days) because you will need to give notice to the temporary agency.
This action will give you a plus because it is a courtesy to give a 15 days notice. Your integrity as a good employee will be recognized because if you find another job in the future, you will also do the same to this company.
Quit your temporary job if there is an opportunity in the other company for a full time job. You will like the next job, too.
Keep me posted of what happens next.
Good Luck.

"Eagle?" LOL

Go to the interview, find out more information about the other company, what you would be doing, what they would be paying, and health benefits, etc. Then make an informed decision.

Good luck!
