I've had a few AdWords jobs and contracts since 2009 (and am currently still in one long running one).
In that time, I've learnt how to:
- Build relationships with recruitment agents.
- Build a network of other contractors.
- Get my "name out there".
- Craft CVs that get interviews.
- Craft cover letters that get the CVs read.
- Get recruitment agents to " . just . open . the . damn . email . already . "
- Get to the interviews.
- Have a great interview.
- Negotiate rates and terms.
- Get contract extensions (don't just be valuable, show them you're valuable).
- Keep up to date with constantly changing technology.
- Move from slow-lane models to where I divorce my time from my revenue (still in progress!)
- Work out who you’re really working for!
- (Lots more...)
I'm learning to create videos, and have a series in mind that I'll drop in here.
Hope they help.
