Full time role to contract role

Hello grapeviners,

I want to show my current work experience in a not so well known startup as contract role since it has been a 10 month stint only. Can I showcase it as a contract role?

It will help me justify my short stint. Also, I have been unfortunate to have had a series of short stints before as well. Those were big startups but either got closed or carried out heavy layoffs.

Please suggest. Would be quite helpful to know about the hack 🙂
