Is Contracting For You

Being your own boss takes a certain type of person. While you might be in a ‘safe’ 12 month contract now, you need to be aware that no-one else is going to find your next contract/client for you. Recruitment Agencies are a great source to help you find a role, but you are most suited to contracting if you are..

• Confident & Motivated
• Have a realistic sense of what is possible (mostly around timelines)
• Organised and adaptable
• Able to work alone and have confidence in your decision making
• Patience – a stream of work won’t come in overnight, and you might have to say no to a few bad offers before the right one comes along.
