Hi all,
I am looking to move into contracting but need some advice on how to get that important first contract.
A bit of background for you: I initially trained as a teacher and worked as such for 8yrs, the last 5yrs of which were in Italy. I also worked part time as a technical director building a large medical portal.
For the past 3yrs I have had my own business in the S of France doing web design/development and a smattering of networking.
Unfortunately work is not that easy to get here in France so I thought I would try my hand at contracting in the UK or Europe (we plan to come back permanently in 2yrs).
My main problem is that I don't have any real commercial experience and I feel that is holding me back.
Any one got any ideas/advice on what I should do to get my first contract?
Thanks,
Rich
