Contingent Work - Contracts - Temp-to-Perm

[SussexSeagull]

Unless it is something lasting a week I barely take any notice of length of contract anymore. If the work is still there then they will renew you and if it isn't you will be soon gone.

I'm the same, but wisdom and experience tells us that even when work is there they still can cut the contract short or not renew. Madness sometimes but it happens. I do get frustrated when there is still a good outcome to be achieved but politics/budget screw it up. Hate leaving work unfinished.

Great thing about thinking like Sussex is you get a momentary feeling of elation every time the renewal comes through and then it's back to work. Expecting a renewal is 'meh' when you get it and utter disappointment when you don't.

I should have said work available and they are willing to pay you to do it but you take my point.

Don't get me wrong, I preferred being renewed to not being renewed but other than the obvious doing the work well I am not sure there is much you can do about other factors so why worry about it?
