If I get hired as an IT contractor, how can I transition into a full-time employee?

This is a huge topic that requires a lot of explanation, but assuming you want to transition into a full-time employee at the company you are contracting for, the first thing you should do is make it known to your manager that you’d like to become full-time. Then, generally speaking, just be a good, flexible employee who uplifts your team. This is covered a bit in the free intro course in the “Raising the Bar” section.
