Hi Guys
Appreciate some advice here
I'm a newbie, contracting for 6 months now. Current contract is expiring in 3 weeks. I'm a Systems Engineer specialising in LabVIEW. I also have SC.
I've been looking for new contracts but it seems very quiet (specially after Dec), so much so that I'm now even considering going back to permie or to non-SC roles.
Can someone suggest me websites/forums where I can find contracts or even best way to go about it . I've already been looking on jobsite and LinkedIn etc, building up network.... but no luck yet!. I'm starting to panic a bit as the reality of contracting is sinking in and I haven't had enough time to build up a warchest!!!

Again appreciate the advice.

Hmm.. Sounds pretty niche.

Tried LA International? They do a lot of sc stuff....

No RTOS, C, C++, Verilog, VHDL, FPGA, Embedded Linux, PIC, ARM, Android, Web, etc., etc., etc.?

Just.. LabVIEW?

If so, that seems a mighty thin skillset to be basing a contracting career on to me...
