At clientco we have to repeatedly tell the youngsters to go and speak to people directly. They act horrified when you say that even though some of the direct speaking is through chat."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by pallavi View PostHi
I am a first time contractor looking out for my first contract recently with a long permanent job history.
While I had the permanent job a month back, I was seeing a lot of buzz in the SharePoint market but my CV was not selling primarily because of the 4 week notice period (and some SC requirements).
Finally after a lot of consideration to ensure keeping me afloat for few weeks financially and looking at the number of job requirements in the market, I took the plunge and quit my job to focus completely on the contractor market and also tap into those
....
Cheers,
Pallavi
Contracting hey?
Good Luck
