    sorry for the late reply guys...beeen busy...

    you lot have given me realy realy excellant advice their.

    i will definately take all that in note and work through them.

    I have my first contract job btw..its £10 a hour but only 1 month...its realy good.

    My reason to go into contracting is money...my last 2 jobs have been very very low paid and have not saved a single penny!

    Hence want to go into contracting earn quick money then get out into permanent job.

    Btw them questions i didnt know most of them ops:

    I just knew the first 2 questions. Im still newbieeee lol

    but thanks to all with the feedback and suggestions you have given me...

      Checkmate, congratulations on your first contract and good luck in contracting. At 10 pounds an hour for a month I doubt you will earn some quick money mind. At those sort of rates you are probably much better off finding yourself a permanent position in which you will get experience and training, which will in turn make you more valuable on the (contractor) market place in the long run. I don't think short term contracts at that sort of rate are a sustainable way of living in the long run..

        yep your right their. I am lookingfopr permanent positions as well as contract the moment. I did have offer for £25 a hour to start few weeks back but i was in employment and had to give in 4 weeks notice. So i am just hoping i get offer somehwere along that region again.

          Good work on getting the £10/hr contract!

          Once you've started contracting you will probably find that getting further contracts is easier.

          My advise..don't consider permi, in 2 weeks start looking for your next gig. When the agent asks what rate you're on, say £20/hr.

          Contract to permi roles can also be an interesting proposition. The client thinks they're getting try before they buy...but it works both ways. This got me my first gig in banking 10 years ago. Never looked back("considered permi")
