Hi all.. my first post!
I am currently in a perm role and ready to take the plunge and dive into a contracting gig. Working in IT Support for just over 3 years I have experience with OS and Server technology, troublsehooting hardware/software network issues. Troubleshooting connectivity issues using checkpoint, building structured ethernet cable, implementing office communicator R2, audit networks for vunerabilties, securing and patching, basic cisco ISO commands and dabbled with quite a few bespoke systems. Thats me in a nutshell! Yeah I have condensed it down slighly theres more, but basically just wanted you the reader to be able to gauge my level.
So I think I am ready to give contracting a go.. but have a few worries. Whats the IT Industry like at the moment? Do i need to be available for work now? so should hand in my notice? Has anyone got similar skills to me? If so what contracting gigs have you got? Paid how much? I have asked a couple of recruiters these questions and received a mix bag, at the end of the day they are sales people, which is why I want answers left right and center. Thanks for reading! look forward to your responses.
