Ive seen some people put stuff like 'Im eagerly looking for my next exciting and challenging contract from (date)' or 'I run to fires' etc, etc.

So I added a line to mine 'Do you have a dull, boring, over budget project that's lacking organisation? if so, give me a call or mail me at ........'

My in box is overflowing and Ive had to divert all calls to VM!

I'm not sure if that's true but I'm seriously considering applying the same technique to mine!

I never put my current gig on my Linkedin Profile, always add it after I have left, same for any current connections to a gig I am currently in.

Mine is pretty much a carbon copy of my CV but with more detail. I notice a lot of agencies dont bother with refs now I have a lot of recommendations.

On a side note anyone else noticed any job searches on Linkedin are all seem to be for permie roles? Cannot seem to get up a extensive list of contracts or filter them out from a normal search

Hi Boney, I've asked this same question on another thread, I think you can only filter by "Contract"/Job Type if you've got a subscription.

When searching on LinkedIn I tend to put "Contract" in keywords sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

Thanks for that, I do get some up if I put contract oin the keyword search and thats what I tend to do, might have to go premium then

Why's that?

Why's that?

Because I might build relationships within the role with people outside of the client and adding these connections I think may compromise my role to a degree. Also got a nutty ex girlfriend that I dont want waiting outside of work for me whilst at a client site.
