How to refer to contract positions on LinkedIn

[eek]

It depends on what you are looking for next.

If you are a contractor put XYZ Company (Contract) in the job title

If you want to go permanent put XYZ Company (Maternity Cover)

I'm at a loss as to why you are asking the question because it's quite simple.

I'd have to agree with Eek. This is basic linkedin usage and not something unique to contracting. You have to market yourself on there, it's your job as a contractor, so need to put what you think best markets your skills and situation.

I link the company but use the title Contract scala developer at <insert name of company here>

Has anyone actually told you there's an issue with this, or are you imagining it?

It's your LinkedIn page - put it on there anyway.

I usually wait to get my feet under the table then update LinkedIn with the new role. Never had any complaints.
