Resume...will this come across as a lie did not mean to?

Question

I have only been working for my current company for a year and half, but it is contract. I have worked other contract posistions with different agencies prior to that. Please see how I worded it:

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY:

January 2005 Projects Assistant (Contract)

Present ABC Company (currently), Colorado, Springs

I had a phone interview and I will have a panel interview tomorrow. Should I just not say anything. All they know is the position I work in now has been 2 years, and it states contract on my resume but I said nothing about it on the phone.

I would like to hear you response, thanks!!!!

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you are so worried about. As someone who reads resumes every day, I'm not even sure what "contract" means on a resume. It can mean different things to different people. If I were interviewing you, I might ask you about the word contract. But I don't see why you think that you lied or would be seen as having lied.

Answer 2

Shouldn't be a problem at all; contrract work is very common these days.

Always be honest; the fallout is much worse from lies than from not having the answers you think they want.

Answer 3

I don't think people care if it a contract or not - leave it out and talk about what you did (do?), what you were good at, what you learned.

Answer 4

Nothing to worry about from my point of view. And you'd better not get into this conversation at all because I feel you might talk too much about it and be taken for mumbler...forget about it, it's not important.

Answer 5

Don't mention it unless you are asked. If asked, tell the truth. Don't worry, you will do well.

Peace and blessings!
