When starting out most freelance contractors use recruitment agencies to
find their first few contracts. Over time you will build up a base of
clients who will start coming straight to you. It is always a good idea
to ensure your CV, show-reel or portfolio is fully up-to-date - this
will really help you to secure that next contract.
The web is
becoming more and more important in the contracting and freelance world.
We recommend that you source a domain name that is relevant to your
business trading name e.g. www.jct-designs.co.uk. You can then run this
as your email address e.g. tom@jct-designs.co.uk which is more
professional than using tom@hotmail.com
Doing this also allows you to
set-up a small but well designed website to show potential clients
exactly what you specialise in. This is a great way of getting your CV
and portfolio out there and can easily be shown on your LinkedIn profile
where literally hundreds of recruitment consultants will have a chance
to see it.
