Nearing the end of your contract, if there is still a continued need for your role and your performance has been good, you’ll likely receive an extension of contract. If the project has ended, there will not be an extension. If a position in your department opens up due to a perm staff resigning and you apply for it, you’ll be evaluated against both internal and external candidates. The hiring manager and final approver have their pick of candidates to choose from. These include scholars, first class honours graduates and people with more experience in the field than you. Given such stiff competition, you should weigh how you stand in the pool of candidates. You should also know if you were hired to work on a short term project, there will not be a permanent opening to apply to once the project ends.
