wah, like that danger, what if after 6 mths they no longer need, then u jobless liao… but on positive note and luck, if within that 6 months, someone perm resign, and u apply, u stand better chance to get... I have witness it before, join contact 1 yr role, suddenly 1 perm staff resign, she then apply and get the perm role... so depends I guess..

If not for the short contract duration, and the lack of security of a 6 months contract job, I'd accept the offer... So am at a dilemma here, really.

Just wondering if anybody have any knowledge of contract jobs in the public sector? And what's the chance of conversion, extension, or whether there's a higher chance of getting hired at other positions?

Thank you!
