    Best Contract Site

    Thanks for the good advice. I'm sorry if some people feel I am being lazy, or not checking out google or whatever. As it happens I know many of the job sites you are all suggesting, and I have visited many job sites already. The reason I asked, is because no matter how much I know, I'm not...

    Days Off

    When you take on say, a three month contract, can you take a day off if you want (unpaid) or are you basically on no breaks except for when you're sick, etc, etc... I'm totally new and I want to get a feel for how things operate as a contractor :)
