I have my first interview for a contract role tomorrow and wanted to find out if the process is different than for a permanent position.

I have my first interview for a contract role tomorrow and wanted to find out if the process is different than for a permanent position.

I'm having a call with the consulting company and if it goes well what should I expect? They've indicated on the site that they are urgently hiring so I'm hopeful but unsure what will happen. I'd appreciate your advice as it's the first I'm applying for a contract role.

    I found with contract role interviews the process is a lot faster and generally less interviews than a permanent role and in a shorter space of time 1-2 weeks max. They generally want to move quickly especially if they find a good candidate. Depending on your role it may be only 1 -2 interviews with the company. It’s always good to be Prepared and treat it like a permanent role interview.
