Tips For My First Contract Role

[SupaDoopa]

Hi Guys,

I been in testing for the past 8 years, all permanent roles. Finally took the plunge and started applying for a contract role. Finally scored a role after searching and applying for over 3 months !!

Going in as a consultant is totally different compared to starting a new role as a permanent employee.

What I am looking for is any tips I can use going into the role?

Invoice regularly.

Nothing is different, as the best thing you can do is foster good will and working relationships. The best defense against ending up here in the future debating fine print in your contract imho.

You can read the first timer guides, all the stickies and the links to the right hand side. You can also search the forum using <search term> site:forums.contractoruk.com in google or the search at the top right.

Most of your starting questions will have been asked many many times before.

Make sure you do something productive in the first couple of weeks i.e. something a permie wouldn't do as they would still be "in training".

WHS. You are only there because you are already an expert in what you do and you'e there to help the permies do the job better. That's the mindset a lot of contractors never actually acquire.

And join the PCG, you know it makes sense.

This is good advice.

My advice would be: make sure you have a good accountant.
