Contract employment -- which employer to list?

Hi

I worked as a contract through a company for a large, prestigious tech firm. When applying to MBB, how should I handle this? I was in full-time employment for the company -- for the larger company -- but as a "contractor."

Thanks!

I guess you have to mention that you were a contractor, but in the headline for that position I would use the large, prestigious tech firm.

 

If the job is current list it as a contract because if the staffing firm found out they could have problems with it, if it is an old job don't bother stating it was a contract as they will still just call up your supervisor at the actual company and ask did you work there and they will say yeah blah blah blah.
