If you want to do well and succeed and have your contract renewed, what mindset does a contractor need to take?
Does he need to cut corners and deliver buggy software so you will appear busy?
Does he need to say yes to all work and just do it?
What happens if you get asked to estimate how long something will take and you cannot? Do you guess?
What qualities of a contractor really make them succeed?
Kissing ass is rarely an attribute of a successful perm/contractor. The advice here is good. Do your job, keep your head down, tread lightly, don't be a know it all and remember to invoice on time.
I still think you are a sock puppet. Prolly belonging to Dim Prawn, as he was trolling his s/p here earlier today.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

First day kiss the boss, tell him tongues are extra, and you won't get out of his bed for any less than a grandThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
