Hi Everyone,
Having recently been made redundant from my permie position of 16 years I've now thought the time is right to move into the contracting arena. If I don't do it now, probably never will...
I have actually just completed my 1st contract where a client contacted me directly via LinkedIn requiring my particular set of skills urgently. Was a pretty important, time restrictive project which I managed to nail over months work into a fraction of the time. Hoping it leads onto bigger and better things in the near future as I got some fantastic feedback as a result of the work I did for them.
Must say I am amazed at how shark infested the job market waters are in terms of how a lot of recruiters go about their business. I know not all conduct their affairs in this often devious manner but it does make you wary of their often misleading tactics to attain leads & £. Whatever happened to applying for positions directly through a companies HR dept? Old School style!
Anyhoo.. Here I am, officially on the contracting bandwagon and hoping to form some solid long-term relationships with the honest and reliable head-hunters/recruiters out there.
Have a great day folks..
