what's the fastest y'all ever bounce from somewhere? and did yall put that role on your resume?

3 months, short term contract. For some odd reason. My resume indicated I was still employed by said company :troll:



It's easier to get a new job when you "have" one.

do Employers check FTE vs Contract status during background checks?

No, they just check dates - I have told all types of lies. Haven't been caught up yet. Just make sure you have proof of employment (w2 or pay stubs. Make sure you crop out your salary).

Maybe it varies by state but a background check will show where I work so thats not an issue. My question was more so employment type.

Me, I much prefer contract because of the higher rates. Most companies still allow you to opt in on benefits as well. Cut The Check

So I got two job offers sitting at my door right now.

Customer Support Services at a call center or Tech Sales Job at Staples...

Neither of them are the Help Desk job I want, but you gotta start somewhere, and I can use the resume filler.

I am gonna aim for the call center one, mainly because I will actually be helping people with tech issues to some extent. While at Staples it sounds like they really just want me for sales. Wish me luck brehs, either way, it should help me save up to make the moves I wanna make. Off to study more for that Sec+...
