It was my criteria for taking the F/T position.

If I work for an agency and report to a third party, to me that is a
contractor. Is that not interpretted as a contractor?

I always made the determination that I would not discuss gigs that
were planned for less than six months and several gigs went close to
two years. It was almost normal that my contract was extended
multiple times.
