My first job out of college was a temp job. Temp jobs are unique. They can best be described as an on the job, ongoing interview. Every day, you have to prove yourself as you’re fighting to get a full-time offer without knowing if management is thinking about keeping you on long-term or showing you the door once your contract is up.
This is work situation that interim General Manager Tommy Sheppard currently finds himself in with the Washington Wizards. Sheppard is in an awkward place as he wasn’t management’s first option for the job nor was he the second option either.
