Your First Week on a FLAT Assignment: What to Expect

Starting a new assignment can feel like a lot. New place, new people, new routine. The good news is that a strong first week sets you up for everything that comes after, including the chance to be hired on.

Here is what to expect and how to make it count.

Before Day One

• Confirm the address, start time and who you report to.

• Plan your route and leave extra time. Phoenix traffic can surprise you.

• Lay out the right clothes and safety gear the night before.

• Save the FLAT office number in your phone: 602-730-3312.

Your First Day

Arrive early. Check in with your supervisor, listen closely during orientation and ask questions if something isn’t clear. Nobody expects you to know everything on day one, but they do expect you to pay attention.

The Rest of the Week

• Show up on time every single day. This matters more than anything else.

• Follow safety rules, even when it would be faster not to.

• Stay off your phone while you’re working.

• Be friendly with your coworkers and help where you can.

• If something comes up and you’ll be late or out, call FLAT right away.

How Temp-to-Hire Works for You

Many FLAT assignments are temp-to-hire. That means the client is looking for people they’d like to bring on permanently. Every shift is a chance to show them you’re the kind of worker they want to keep.

Questions About Pay or Your Assignment
