Be careful when visiting general then young man. Those offering sweets and take take you home to show you their rabbit are not all they seem.

No way could I have saved enough money to cover a year out of work on a relative small income! Only 22!

All in all its going well so far! Now to save enough to be prepared to be out of work for 6 months!

Plan for 12, in my opinion. Hopefully the extra earnings from a 12 month contract will give you this or thereabouts if you keep your spending at current levels.

Thanks for the extra advice. I shale plan for 12 instead.

If one is in the top ten percent with regards to experience, skill set and academic record and shows a certain level of humility at the interview, the market is always strong.

Else, it’s a roll of the dice...

Welcome to the show

Ooo, sounds great, altough I have no idea if im in the top ten percent!

Is this the point that you discover there are far more experienced contractors out there and that the competition is cut-throat?

Most likely their is however I still feel everyone has a fair chance!

Have you read all the guides, aware of IR35, 24 month rule and about getting your contract checked if you get that far?

Check, I have an accoutant that provides contract reviews plus ir35 reviews, aware of the 24 month rule as well.

Now too the good news, thus company walked me out the office, I continued to walk to the tube, a light tap on the shoulder to advise that they would like to offer me the contract!

The agency is now drawing up the 12 month contract which I should have by friday.

All in all its going well so far! Now to save enough to be prepared to be out of work for 6 months!
