I worked as a contractor for a pretty big company. Recently I got a call that my contract had ended
but was told it had nothing to do with my performance as I always got excellent feedback from my boss and coworkers. I am mystified as to what happened since I was told repeatedly I was doing a fantastic job
I was also told the company went in another direction...but then I found out on LinkedIn they hired another contractor who's doing the same job I was. I'm guessing the new person was cheaper.
I'm having the worst time finding a new job...I'm a few months away from earning my master's degree, and I've worked since I graduated college 7 years ago. I apply for remote positions, freelance, part-time, temporary, etc. I've spoken to a career counselor who helped me with my resume and cover letters. I just don't know what to do anymore.
