Nevýhody, které je třeba zvážit
Short-term roles may offer less stability than permanent employment, lasting up to six months at most and sometimes much less.
Many applicants are drawn to these positions, leading to a very competitive pool where not all qualified candidates get contacted.
Applicants must secure three professional references from direct supervisors, which can be a hurdle if you’re newer to the job market.
There is no guarantee of work, only of being considered for roles that best match your skills and experience within the pool.
The varying departmental needs mean some assignments may not align with your specific long-term career goals.
