That would be recommended. Also, if you are holding out by providing plane and pilot, thats 135 work. Make them arrange the plane outside of your control. An owned, leased, or rental, just don't be involved with setting up the aircraft. Then they can hire you pending insurance being ok with you.
The irony of a COM ticket is it's really difficult to get that first job and be legal.
