Other Considerations:

The candidate’s level of performance as determined by the client is pivotal in this regard.
- This Contract/Project-Based position has no guaranteed multi-year duration and while we aim to provide continuity of employment whenever possible, the nature of this position may involve gaps between projects, potential conversion to part-time employment status for a period of time, or administrative termination of employment at the conclusion of the duration end date.
