Q9. Will the company send me a contract?

Some companies will require you to sign a contract. This will be sent to your home address prior to your placement. You should read and sign the contract and return it to your employer immediately. Please provide a copy of the contract to your Placement Officer. Don't worry if you don't receive a contract as many employers are more informal in their approach
