    What sort of advice are you looking for?

    All you need to do is apply for contract jobs and hope you get them. You have a few options with how you get paid though (see below). Have a look on the job websites such as Monster.com, cwjobs.co.uk and jobserve.com. Check if your skills are in demand and what sort of experience and areas of knowledge are required.

    These are some of the options you have for getting paid:

    - Your own LTD company
    - Umbrella Company
    - Working direct for an agency

    You can find information on all of these by reading the guides on the right or searching the forum.

      You should ask Bob Shawadiwadi, he can advise you.

        Honestly? Gain as much experience as you can. Climb the Siebel ladder as much as you can. Become an expert in your field and make sure you can do it in your sleep. The contract market is a fierce place to be, even at the worst of times, so don't take your knowledge for granted.

        I don't know what you mean by foreign countries, as I have no idea where you are from. Are you in the UK, or are you wanting to come to the UK? You will need to read up on Tax laws in the country you are working for and understand how you can legally work in that particular country. As already stated, look at various job boards and apply for jobs appropriate to your skills.

        Remember, bullsh*tting your way through won't always pay dividends, it would only lead you to a short career and may end up cleaning toilets on a permanent basis.
        If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

          I would suggest that you re-write this question in legible English and provide meaningful information so that we can understand what you would actually like to know.

            I'd disagree with you there. If you're bright enough, smart enough and confident enough, you'll be able to blag it and deliver. That's a true contractor.
            Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

              If the OP is able to get away with it...then fair enough. But contracting is not really for everyone.

                    I reckon you'll struggle with only 1 year's experience and English as a second language in UK.

                    You might pick something up if you drop your rates low enough, but there's plenty of good Siebel guys out there with 5+ years experience who will probably walk all over you at interview.

                    In my experience most agents look for 3+ years experience so you will probably find it difficult getting through to interview.
