There are many perks to being a contractor including flexible hours, the capacity to gain experience in a number of different companies, and higher rates of pay. On the other hand a disadvantage it can be difficult to coordinate leaving one position and starting a new one without experiencing a gap.
My boyfriend has been doing contract work in IT his whole life and while he enjoys the variety it is always a bit stressful when he comes to the end of a contract and has to look for a new job while still working. This can easily result in being forced to live on two minute noodles, or paying the bills late.
After registering on JOBX you are asked to fill in your details under My Broadcast. You are then able to specify whether you are a contractor and whether you are currently working. In addition you can specify on which date your assignment will end.
This allows advertisers to employ you for jobs in advance meaning that you have less down time in between roles.
Not only will your employment life be more stable, but also more productive. In effect you could be doing fulltime work at contract rates…not too shabby.
