Subject:Re: Short duration of jobs From:David Orr <dorr -at- ORRNET -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 2 Dec 1998 16:29:58 -0600
One thing seems to be confusing this topic. A distinction needs to be
made between contract work and full-time staff work. To me, contract
work includes W2 and 1099 work done when there is a clear understanding
that the job is only for the duration of the project. If that
distinction is clear on a resume, I doubt anyone would have a problem
with lots of short-duration contract jobs done under a W-2.
