I understand even for permanent positions, there would be a 1 year or 2 year contract before being converted to permanent basis.

What about for jobs in stat boards that are advertised as being contract in the first place? Such as having a bracket beside that states (6 months contract) or (11 months contract).

My concern for these type of jobs is the conversion rate. Would majority of these kind of contracts just end and the staff being let go or there is also a good chance of conversion for such short contracts?
