I’m on contract with a small team, and what I’ve been told is that if your contract keeps getting extended close to 2 years, they can make the argument to HR that there is a consistent enough workload that requires the role you have to be full time.

Could just be my department saying that, but it’s what I was told in response to my full time ambitions. Or, If they are already speaking to HR about a permanent role before you jump on as a contractor and it gets approved early into your start, the wait might be shorter.

Easiest way to make yourself indispensable is to offer something that no one else in your department can do, or to ‘own’ a specific part of the departments process so you are seen as a crucial piece of your team that they can’t afford to lose. That’s the advice I was given at least. All depends on the department you’re in.

I was lucky to be converted to FTE after six months, but it’s been a mixed bag on our team. We’ve definitely converted other contractors and also lost plenty of people when they hit their 2 year LOA. I will say though it’s been rare in my experience that contracts are not renewed up until the 2 year limit.

Was your team smaller or bigger? Would you say your role was newer and needed? I would be quitting a full time position for this so I want to make sure I’d be making the right decision.

Was on a small but growing team. I wouldn’t take this contract with the expectation you’ll become FTE. But high likelihood you’ll get renewed quarterly for the two year max

Any tips for how to stand out when submitting resumes online to an F50? I have started sending my resume to in-house jobs and it’s hard to even get a response from most listings. I have tried being targeted (e.g., applying to in-house M&A roles and not just any in-house role) and adjusting my resume for particular listings (e.g., highlighting experiences of interest to the company). For a number of places, I have indicated that I am looking for a remote position, which is maybe a negative.

Pretty sure I’m about to be fired. I have an offer in hand anyway and have been on a few interviews that have gone well, and a few more lined up. Am I gonna be ok?

Hello!

Any advice on how to request a 20% raise? This is my first career out of college. I signed my offer letter knowing that I was being underpaid by 10%, as per the posted position salary. My 1-year appraisal is close and I would like to request 20% based on an increased workload; I would also like to make up for being underpaid my first year.

My dilemma: Many companies only pay up to a 4% raise. However, that will not cover much in this economy, and I would still be still underpaid.
