Hello all
after a ten year stint as a java developer I left my old job to have a career break, I now want to get back into the development game again and having read up, I feel contracting is the way to go. My question is, am i going to be struggling to get my first contract? My worry would be that anyone reading my CV would see that I hadn't worked for a year then bin it straight away. I've not exactly been idle in the past 12 months, I've done some major building work to the house and I've even done some development too - I've got an iPhone app on the app store and a couple more in the pipeline. I'm thinking however, that this is going to be irrelevant to anyone wanting to hire me for my java skills.
Any advice would be appreciated (even if its forget contracting and go back to perm)
cheers.
