Thank you for your kind response. With 25 years, I assume that you have vast experience and, possibly, a retirement plan to smooth out the bumps of non-continous employment at or near the end of an assignment. Besides work continuity, my other concern is what is touted to be "admin" or "high visibility" temp work becomes a dirty, clean up the old equipment assignment that the client's regular staff won't do. Any tips on how to avoid such pitfalls?
