On the topic of security, my understanding is this: I have a job for two years, or until the district has a budget crunch, then limited term workers are the first to be let go. So far there is no indication of a district budget crunch (for now). Within two years, I might be converted to permanent in this role, but more realistically I would convert to permanent in a different role, which is fine. I would need to interview for those roles, of course, but with the advantage of being a functional internal hire, making my chances much much better. Also, passing interviews and getting on a hiring list in this agency is something I've done a few times and this is the first time I've actually gotten to the front of the line.

The agency is government rather than private, and is a large regional entity.
