Newbie with a few questions on contracting
Hiya All
First of all, i should mention what a amazing job everyone in here is doing and it such a help for newbies like me in all aspects of contracting.
I want to give an overview of my situation before I jump at questions. I decided to take plunge into the contracting world .I have nearly 5 years experience in project management mainly in agile framework in software development environment. And last role has been permanent role.
I have a couple of questions
1) is certification really important or play an important role in securing a contractor ?
2) any PM's, any particular websites for contracting ? Also, should I be investing in scrum master or Prince2 certification (I had to ask this question purely due to the limited availability of funds, I want to invest on certification which will be able to help me get my leg into contracting world as we'll keep me paid
)
3) I uploaded by CV on various job boards and receive contracting agents calls but nothing happens. Anyone please inform me on general process in contracting roles.
Apart from the above, if anyone had any advice for this newbie is very welcomed and useful.
Thanks once again.
Cheers
Sri
