Sunday Times seeks case-study: why are you self-employed?

Originally posted by Laurance View PostThe Sunday Times is seeking to speak to - and probably picture - an IT contractor who used to be in a staff job and who is now self-employed. This could be someone whose job was done away with - and that was the trigger for the person's becomng self-employed. This would be for a more general piece on the changing nature of employment in the UK to run in this weekend's paper. It would be necessary to speak to the person concerned today, Thursday. If able to help, please contact Ben Laurance on [email protected]

As others have said, you won't find anyone who is self-employed on the forum - I've not met anyone who is self-employed doing a similar role as I do, because agencies and clients will not deal with the self-employed for various (primarily tax) reasons.
I you want to speak to people who own a limited company and work for that company, then there are loads around here - whether that's the "typcial" serial single client contractor or someone who has built a different business themselves.
Good luck with your search.Comment

I was also on national TV news in America, but I'm still trying to get Google to take down the search resultsComment
