I once interviewed a guy after HR had already talked to him. Told him straight up the permanent job would preferably go to an internal candidate, but we still needed someone like him temporarily, even though HR had told him it was for a permanent job. He still took it and the internal candidate was promoted 9 months later. I’m still friends with the guy that took the temp job.
Nine months of temp work is nothing to sneeze at. Better than my buddy who showed up on the first day of his new job at a startup and they went out of business before lunch.
I have a cousin who immediately got laid off from a machining job at a bike manufacturer. The company went out of business right after they hired him. He got a month to work there.

Well, time to collect 6 months of unemployment benefits.
