Originally posted by speling bee View PostBuild a good LinkedIn profile. Link with your old colleagues, bosses, suppliers, clients. Let them all know what you are looking for, what you can offer and what your timescales are. See if there is flexibility in your end date with your current job and save your leave days to facilitate a quick bunk.
