I'm applying for a position at NOVA (I am aware of their reputation), but I've come across a peculiar requirement. They ask applicants to have a "dummy" independent contractor signed in order to apply for the COE (Certificate of Eligibility). Although I prefer a permanent employment status, they claim that after applying with the "dummy contract," I can later choose the contract type I desire. I can't help but wonder why they are asking for a "dummy" contract. I'm a bit concerned that they might use this "dummy" contract as my official decision, considering it has already been signed. I appreciate any insights you might have on this matter. Thank you in advance.
