It depends a lot on how diversified your company is. I joined my previous company as an intern in 2007, when the luxury residential high-rise market was really hot here. In 2008, when I joined full-time, that had dried up. While some people were laid off, many transitioned into other sectors like cultural and healthcare projects. All the hospital work pretty much saved the company and carried us through the recession.

It is typically not a temp job, especially entry-level. The company will move you from project to project as needs change, and quite often you won’t be there until completion. I know some general superintendents take jobs as or are hired for a specific project, but that’s well known at signing. You won’t have to think about that for a few more decades anyway.
