The position I hold now was a contract-to-hire. Many times, the hiring company wants to try you out before doing a permanent hire. This is to effectively weed out the wheat from the chaff. Period.
I don't want to have the sort of position where I didn't know if I would have another job waiting when this one went away, but I have friends who thrive at those jobs, swear by them, and wouldn't want to work any other way.
