Hi everyone, I used to be a permanent worker, then I left work for one year to get my Master's and now am trying to make it in the wonderful world of contracting. I was wondering if anyone here had any advise for seeking that first contract, and what they think of the present market. Recruiters have told me that employers are being very picky as of late, even when it's resulted in some vacancies being very hard to fill! There are a lot of contracts that I have found that I'd be a good match for, but the fact that I don't have experience (yet) in investment banking (I live in London and want to stay there) often means that I the end employer isn't interested! Also, is it easy to find contracts in skills that you wish to cross train into? My primary skill is C , but I've been trained in Java at university, and I would like to work a contract in it to get some commercial experience on my CV. I would also like to get some commercial experience with UNIX as well.
Any advise or tips welcome. Thanks!
