    Thanks for the posts.

    Have another question. How difficult (or easy) was it for you to secure your first contract?

    Also, are you alone in what you do or have you formed a partnership with others?

      Both times for me it was easy. First because no one knew how the internet worked and I did....

      Second time because they needed someone who knew both .net and java... And I did...

      As many continually say its actually not the first contract you need to worry about but the second one. And never take a contract for money take it based on where it will leave you at the end of that contract. No point taking a contract using old skills if it means you won't have any skills to get any contract this time next year...

            Is there a particular recruitment agent that you all use?
