i am considering applying for a job as a test technician for validation of drivers on unix/linux systems.. i am qualified for the job, and feel that a job of this type will help me more in the future than the current tech-support job i am working. the only question i have. the job is listed as a 12 month contract. i havent had a contract job before, but i have heard some negatives and some positives about it... i hear they generally pay well, but obviously no medical coverage (i dont have any anyways, so that isnt a big concern for me right now) i was basically wondering if "12 month contract" means that the contract definately lasts 12 months, or can the company lay you off after a month without offering compensation.. i am interested in the position, but my current job pays too well, and the hours are too convenient for me to risk taking a job that is gonna lay me off without compensation..
has anyone worked a contract job before.. i was hoping for a.) some pros and cons and b.) my above question answered
any help/opinions would be much appreciated, thanks in advance
