I'm a social worker. I applied for several positions in my local council . Some permanent and some fixed term.
I got the fixed term one and I'm gutted.
My friends have said this is nothing to worry about as once I start I can apply for permanent jobs and as I will have post qualifying experience I have a good chance. Particularly if I apply internally.
I can also go on agency.
I'm just so worried this year will end and I will be left with nothing.
Am I being ridiculous?
It's for a council in a large city so not a shortage of jobs. But also very popular so there's quite a bit of competition.
I hadn't even heard of a fixed term before. Can it become permanent?

To be a little bit disappointed that I got a fixed term contract
