Contracting in Europe

[TOSH1]

Does anyone know of any good agencies that advertise contract positions in Europe. I am thinking of possibly contracting in Europe for the experience.

1. Put your CV on Monster and ensure that you have the various European countries you want to work in selected.

You will find that you get contacted by companies and agencies about countries you aren't interested in but you may as well look at the country in regards to tax etc as it may be OK. (Hint: use google to find expat boards and related threads, and also to find the various tax rules in that country as some publish them in English. )

2. Apply on Jobserve etc to roles advertised in other European countries. Once you get talking to pimps they will have your CV flagged up for roles around Europe and will start emailing you with them.

You could search on JobServe with the filter "Not UK" in Location. I would recommend this approach as a first timer, the agencies who post jobs on JobServe are used to UK contractors. If you try a local agencies, without the local language you may waste a lot of time. Financial year maybe different from UK, so many countries have already staffed up for this years projects in December, UK will staff up in March. Good luck in your search but it may take some time until you land your first role.
