The contracts are usually 13 weeks, get acquainted with and stay in contact with your recruiter. When you begin your contract, sometimes you have to be proactive, and about the beginning of week 10, you should be speaking with your recruiter about the next contract, in case the current facility does not need to retain you for another 13 weeks. Remember, you may have to drive to a different state, to start another contract, so you will need to be astute to travel time and to finding your apartment/living facility to be ready for your new contract.
