Java Contracting - what should I brush up on?

[Pondlife]

I will never be a ginge, nor my kids.

That's what Prince Charles said.

I'd say you have a decent mix of skills. Lots of Java places ask for Hibernate and Spring in addition to Java and SQL now. If I were you I'd concentrate on these four key areas. Haven't seen anyone using struts for years now, although oddly Swing has been popping up a bit recently. Maybe all the Swing guys have died off and they need new ones now!

How much experience do you have and in what industries?

Not to rain on your parade but I wouldn't have quit permiedom to go into contracting right now.
The market is quite tough at the moment. Lots of hiring freezes and budget problems.

The reason I quit was because I had tried to get contracts but everyone was put off by my 1 month notice. I wasn't being considered. I saved enough money to cover myself for about 3 months so I'm not stuck. It's hard to balance perm work with getting other work.

I have 3 years 9 months JEE experience. My industries include government, healthcare, and domain name.

A golf driver laughing a merc driver, sorry, a ginger golf driver laughing at a merc driver? well, I guess you have your own issues going on to be laughing at me son; no matter how much of a cock I appear, I will never be a ginge, nor my kids.

**** me, it's top trumps again!

The words "Ginge" or "Ginger" don't and never have bothered me. Nor does being called "son" by a childish moron.

Please try harder. Come on, let's see what you're really made of.

Oh dear, but the name calling continues.

I guess being a ginger **** all your life has made you all angry at life. You may have become immune to it, but I feel for your kids; no one wants a ginger bird and my kids will not marry a ginge and bring that crappy gene into the family

Fair play son.

I'd like to see the het up stage son, currently alternating between laughing a lot, and not really giving a tulip. But you carry on ginge, seems to be making you happy.

I was just going to ask whether or not your "mates" think you're a ten-bob millionaire because you can't afford a new Merc.

Just asking like.
