Are you really ready for the Contract Market?
When speaking to candidates looking to move from permanent employment to contract for the first time I often ask them
“Are you ready to Contract?”
The response I often receive is “Yes I’ve been in a permanent role for X amount of years and feel I would like a change” or “I like the idea of having more variety in my career”.
On a personal level this is a great reason however it will only go so far in preparing you to begin contracting immediately.
