What Next?

The appeal of contracting is obviously very great, and so here is a brief explanation of how to go about starting as an indepeandent contractor.

1.The first step is to prepare a detailed CV
 
Your CV is your most important sales document and should be very detailed and very technical - the more detail the better. There is no need to restrict the document to 2 or 3 pages. 10 pages are fine if it is relevant. Try always to focus on specific skills or experience and detail all systems modules and sub-modules, hardware, database and programming information etc etc.
If you have a particular strength, focus on that ...    Remember nobody expects you to know everything!

2.It is also a good time to speak to financial advisors

For instance Accountants, Services Companies, Tax Advisors & Bankers about finance and tax legislation in your country. A good agency can usually point you in the right direction Being freelance on the kind of income generated by a contractor can mean starting a limited liability company. This need not be a very costly affair, and many such companies can be created in a matter of days.

3.Read your current employment contract ...

Find out what notice is required to terminate your current employment, and find out what other restrictions there are (eg are there any restrictions about working at previous clients of your employer?)

4.Find a contract vacancy ...

In Niche Markets this should be the easy bit.Hundreds of companies are looking for tens of contractors, and there is no shortage of work to be done, however...

5.Finding out who is looking for Consultants ...

And then negotiating a satisfactory contract is somewhat more difficult. The easiest and safest way to obtain a contract is therefore through an agency. This is also the most common way to find a contract (thousands of other contractors can't be wrong!).

Here's why:

Agencies offer more choice of opportunity, many of which can be better paid than a contract that you dig up yourself. Agencies collect your money for you and pay you regularly, taking on all of the debtor risk - large companies, on the other hand, make you run for your money.Many small enterprises go out of business as a result of payment delays by large companies. Agencies maintain good relations with clients on your behalf and smooth over any problems that arise. As soon as one project finishes, most agencies can guarantee a follow-on project, especially for Niche consultants. Many countries have tax laws that encourage the use of an agency as an intermediary and many clients only like to deal with freelance contractors through agencies.
