Spanish term or phrase: desea estabilidad profesional
From an interview with a candidate my client (a headhunting firm) is presenting to a multinational company.

I am looking for an "elegant" way to say the following:

"Por otro lado, menciona que desea estabilidad profesional, señalando que la mayor parte de su carrera la ha desarrollado en diferentes empresas y sólo por proyectos específicos."

MY VERSION:

Moreover, he says he is looking for a permanent job, as his professional development to date has been a succession of short-term, project-specific contracts with a variety of companies.

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS!
