I just accepted an offer for a position as an operations clerk at wells Fargo but the only catch is that it's temporary for a year and a half. I was told by management that there is strong posibility for it to become permanent but it's not guaranteed. My question is what, if anything can I do during my time to increase my chances of getting bored permanently? Has anyone been in this situation particularly with Walls Fargo? If so please elaborate.

Work hard and do a good job. No experience with Wells Fargo but I've had several temp jobs turn into permanent, including one where they created a new position especially for me. If you prove yourself, they will want to keep you vs. hiring some unknown person who may or may not be a good fit.
And one thing you should do to prove yourself is proofread everything you send out. Not trying to pick on you, but your post is not a good example of professional quality work. That would be the wrong kind of message to send as a temp who hopes to get a permanent offer.
Your best chance of getting permanent work from a temp job is to continue your job search full effort while working the temp job and leaving when you get an offer. Only 27% of temp to hire jobs ever turn perm and at big companies it is even less likely. They use temp agencies to cheat workers out of benefits. It really doesn't matter how hard you work it is carrot on the end of a stick at most large companies.

27% vs being 1 of 100 plus applying for any perm job.
Applying and going to a lot of interviews vs working for crap pay for a company that lies and cheats and doesn't value their workers.
Not to mention the fact as long as companies can get good workers via temp agencies they will have no reason to hire. It is enabling bad employer behavior but I suppose it is necessary if you are desperate for a job.
BTW temp for a year and a half is crazy. That is not temp. If after 3-6 months they don't hire you they almost certainly never will. Do you have to buy a bridge in NY after working for a year as well?

Chance of it becoming a perm temp position? Could be...
But seriously, if it was, would they have brought you in as a temp? or would they have hired you off the street?
That they claim it "May" become perm, don't hold your breath.....They probably told that to others who left before 1.5 years went by since they got a better offer elsewhere...
The whole temp to perm situation is the biggest carrot out there.
I worked at a company who hired dozens and dozens of temps and they told every single one they would most likely hire them perm in 90 days, and then repeated that every single 90 days until they quit. Not one single temp was ever hired perm when I was there.
Other then finding out where your clerk co-workers live and eliminating them, no.
I preferred the old school method of getting dirt on my bosses and using that instead...
