Hi Guys!!!
I am a MAM casual. Obviously fixed term means fixed term! Once you've done your time you WILL not have a job at the end of it. Please don't think that it will lead to full time or part time as i'm sure you've read on other posts, you will only be used as strikebreakers and will surely be disappointed. In my eyes casual is far better than fixed term. I guess it just depends how much you want the job and what your situation is. Being casual you obviously do need to realise that there may be quiet months and then other months will be really busy. Unfortunately these days you will not be offered full time straight "off the street" as they say. I was at the training centre the last two days and there are LOTS of new people going through training on the L/H fixed term contracts and i feel sorry for them knowing that they probably won't be employed again at the end of their contract. its a shame, but a reality.
Good luck with whatever you choose?
