When you're searching for a temporary job LinkedIn can be one of the most powerful tools at your disposal — unlike traditional job boards — as it links you to employers actively sourcing short-term talent.

Finally, ask for recommendations from past clients or managers you worked with on short term gigs. An authentic endorsement from a manager who saw your results carries more weight than a list of duties.
