You're absolutely right. I worked in HR for almost 35 years and while we did verify employment, we only verified dates of employment and position held.
As a side note, we've had skilled tradesmen who were a real pain in the butt get laid off and were successful in applying for a position with the big three. There was no way we wanted to inhibit the guy's chance in getting hired with them since we knew that he wouldn't want to leave that job if we called him back to work.........LOL!
Contract position was terminated.

The security guard did a double take when I walked back in with my new badge the next day. :)
Then get a full time employee job.
It was a 6 month assignment for goodness sake. My husband worked 9.5 yrs as mgmt employee. Drive 140 mi a day roundtrip to work. Let go no notice so they would not have to pay full pension. They do this all the time. And contractors are at bottom of food chain and first to be cut with budgets.
Thats why you dont burn bridges.
Possible reasons:
- Budget. It’s easiest to cut the contractor.
- New boss up the chain wants to bring in his people.
- The person laid off rarely knows how well they were doing or how quiet they were. Bosses rarely express expectations.
Though I’m still in a state of shock, I’ve accepted that I’m probably never going to find out why I was let go. But going forward, I need to give future interviewers a better answer than “I don’t know” when asked why I was let go from my previous job...
Just tell them end of contract.
Yep.
I have on occasion seen contractors get a different job with the same corporate client after being laid off like that. As long as they can get it set up without any break, they usually don’t have to do any of the background or drug checks either.
Definitely don’t want to burn bridges.

My network/phone guru and a developer got it around New Year.
I’m learning somethings about phone administration. So far, maybe .5% of what I need to know.
On and off I temped for 15 years. Now I work for the most demanding, unsympathetic boss imaginable, myself.
How about, project completed, contract fulfilled.
Now I’m looking for my next challenge
Yes thats why they invited you back.
You got lots of advise that you asked for. Mainly move forward. Your contract ended. Ready for next challenge. Keep your mouth shut about in vacation and do not bad mouth the company. Ask your temp agency or eu about why no unemployment. Is this like your first job?? Sounds like it.
New Jersey...Pharma...Novo? Novo doesnt really have much in the pipeline. Lots of other opportunities put there. Anyone hiring will know. Dont worry about explaining. Not necessarily anything to do with your performance or whether or not you took a day off. Merke? J&J ?
Well least for the moment I am doing fine now as I landed a equal job to what I did have which in this State is top 5 percent...Just playing catchup on some bills now.
Great!
