navigating contract to hire pt. 2
with taylor desseyn (solo)
- ask a recruiter how long a contract role has been open since months of vacancy is a red flag
- always ask why the position is open, since turnover could be unrelated to the project or performance
- ask if the hiring manager has budget to convert contractors to full time and if they have done it before
- ask about conversion salary ranges so you are not lowballed when a contract converts to permanent
- if you lack experience, offer free or volunteer hours to build a portfolio and get references
