    How do you define "contractor attitude"?

    When people talk about getting their first contract, I hear that agents and clients are looking for the right "contractor attitude" and many permies struggle with that.

    What do you consider contractor attitude?

    Apparently you can’t follow anyone

          It's mostly about your car tyre diameter.

          That and landing on Day 1 and starting to deliver value, even when you have poor direction from the client.

            If you don't know you we can't tell you.

              It's bollox.

              When management say the 'right attitude' what they mean is never say no, always work extra hours and never demand anything in return.

              in essence the exact opposite of how they behave.
