And so it is in the workforce for the relative few working independently. Finding work as an independent contractor is unlike the traditional job search. It requires thicker skin, ingenuity, and persistence unseen and unknown in the typical employee. Finding that kind of work requires better job-search skills because job changes are so frequent Begin by identifying the contract work you want and are qualified to do. Then start contacting people.
Independents thrive on referrals and contacts.
The most difficult part of the process is just getting the two parties together. Companies struggle because they just don't know where to find people like you. Make it easier on them by making contact yourself. Do not work from the assumption that only certain companies hire independent contractors. They all do.
