There are some right cock wombles out there that think they are contracting but are just going from one car crash to another just because they can interview well. Sadly there isn't a mechanism for identifying poor contractors out there yet.Comment

Hello, everyone
It's my first post here. I recently finished my perm role in order to start contracting work. Now I see that it's pretty hard to find anything. Contracts on job boards are reposted every 1 - 2 days and most remaining offers require a really deep specialisation. Could you take a look at my CV and say what is wrong with it? Maybe it's something obvious that I can't notice? http://bit.ly/2bDKr0v
Thanks,

Different font looks okish but not a fan personally. The lines under your name or really necessary. Post code not necessary. Disclaimer not necessary. No phone number.
I wouldn't send it in PDF as agents tend to transpose on to their own templates.
Layout looks nice but I dunno anything about codes.
