How very weird. Most of my contracts max out at two months...most are around
six weeks. (I've got one right now that is one month, another that is two
months, and another that is...total...65 hours.)

If these recruiters are giving you a hard time on this, you might want to
look into getting a new one. These days especially, short contracts
shouldn't be viewed as a "bad" thing and should be shown to your advantage
("He wrote 400 pages in six weeks" or whatever you did...)
