Looking to hear how others have made an impact in temporary roles, especially when covering for someone out on leave in account-based or team-driven workplaces.

Not just looking for the basics like “ramp up quickly” or “earn trust” but the actual actions, habits or approaches that helped you be effective in a short time frame.

Curious to hear how others have approached this!

Be all in. Deal with the problems on the account. Take responsibility and take up authority. Most temps see their role as filling in rather than making a difference. But in a business where most teams and relationships are stuck, anyone who creates momentum is a welcome addition.

I’d think that has to ultimately impact home prices.

Hi everyone.
Just reached final on-site round for a Senior Manager position in the logistics department. Role is for Amazon UK. Recruiter is asking me now for my expected compensation (base salary + total comp) via email. Any idea what to aim for?

I don’t know the level but was aiming £80k base, +15% bonus. If I don’t fall under their budget, would I automatically be removed from candidates?
Any tips are appreciated!
