Graduated a year ago with bs in finance. I have three biggest ib's onmy resume but each for 6 months consultiong role in front office I rocked my last position, i thought this is it, i proved myself, can fit any companys budget, everyone likes me, and then i was hit with "ur contract will not be renewed". Now i have a resume that consists of great companies, excellent positions and achievements and they're all temp/consultant roles. I don't even know how to go about finding a full-time gig anymore, any advice?





Least youve been getting
Least youve been getting solid front office worrk man. Try a couple of temp back office gigs like me lol. Good luck!
OP - did you try pushing for
OP - did you try pushing for a FT offer? From your post, it seems like you were pretty blindsided when that happened - must be a reason why they did that because I would've thought your boss would've tried to keep you in the loop throughout.
For these positions, did they say they were on a 6 month basis? Try negotiating with them with something longer and pays relatively well, in this market, it's especially to find a good and decent gig, so it's always better to keep staying a float by whatever means necessary.
You can be happy you didn't
You can be happy you didn't do the three month rolling contract I was on from '08-'09. That was scary shit, but I turned it into a FT offer and I'm still here today. Just make sure that the company "can't" go on without you. Just pick up a skill that nobody wants to do and bust your balls.

Temp work is much better than
Temp work is much better than no work. And just because they didn't offer you a contract doesn't mean you didn't do a good job. Lots of times their budget just may not meet it.
I would definitely push to get a perm position.. it usually pays better and you have much more job security.
Start using your contacts (supervisors and such) from past temp jobs to try and land perm roles.

@Blastoise: This is a life
@Blastoise: This is a life lesson for you; The ex-wife will take your money, but she'll leave. Just losing your money, but still have your wife there= she'll be nagging on you and complain when she can't go on here third vacation of the year.
In a more mathematical term on how you should approach women;
Add me, subtract her clothes, divide her legs and multiply.

wow i've never heard of temp work in front office roles. its usually ops or other b/o crap as far as I know. Temp work is not so bad it pays well ($25 or so per hour) and overtime is nice!
