Just to sidetrack a little, I have recently been offered a job with a stat board (I am a fresh graduate) and have been offered a 1-year contract subjected to renewal.
I would like to know if this is a standard employment practice in stat boards/ministries? I actually thought the norm was two-year contract and you usually get convert to perm if you don't screw up too badly.
In addition, while I know that conversion to perm staff from contact is based on performance, what is the track record like for new hires (fresh grads) who get converted to perm staff? Do stat boards actually exercise the right to end the contact at the end of contract term?
