I have moved in both cycles of the business world for employment. I have been a contractor and held full time permanent positions equally in the past. I currently am on my own and would like to be located near enough to enjoy my family that lives in Florida. When I first moved down here in 2011, I put my belongings in storage and set out to find a great job. At that time I only saw contract / contract-to-hire opportunities. So I applied to the one for Royal Caribbean ( was to be a contract to hire prior to their hiring freeze in 2013 ). I was there for 29 of the possible 30 months allowed to contractors hoping during that time that the hiring freeze would be lifted but no luck. In hindsight it was probably a good thing not to get hired then. I really wish to be located in or around Jacksonville. So you see I have been striving to find a full time position all along.
