silverglade Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 hi , i see a lot of "this job is a contract job" on craigslist.org. Does that mean they only use you for one job? and then they dont need you anymore? any help greatly appreciated. thanks . derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Yeah pretty much. They generally "contract" you to perform work either till a certain project or development is complete, or for a fixed amount of time. I imagine it's the same on craigslist.

Ninjakreborn Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 A contract job is simply a way of saying you will be on a 1099 position. They do this so you get no ideas that you will be receiving W2 employment. It's a nice way of saying, "We don't want to hire you, but want to use you as a contractor as we need you." Generally all freelancers are taking on contract work whether or not a contract is involved..it's still considered "Freelance Work" with no permanent/long-term employment (benefits, paid vacation, paid taxes, etc...).
