They sent me an e-mail and then there was a phone interview. I applied for the job thinking it was a typical contract gig as I am a freelancer. During the interview, I asked about the nature of the work (pay by project, by hour, time commitment, etc.) The interviewer said that it was full-time, set hours, etc, but that it was also contract. I asked how this made it a contract job since what was being described was an employee/employer relationship where the employer would need to pay payroll taxes. The interviewer had no discernible response. I'm pretty sure either the interviewer was unfamiliar with the law, or there was some real confusion on someone's part. A full-time permanent job with set hours cannot be a contract job. I said no thanks and that was that.
