IT and Telecom Contractor

Despite the stereotype (and the icon on the previous page) not all IT Contractors wear hardhats and safety vests all day.  In fact, if you saw an IT contractor in action, she may not look any different than your typical corporate IT employee.   That's because the term "Contractor" in this case is really more describing the legal work relationship between the person doing the work and the entity being served.

IT contracting has been around for several decades.  And, it's lucrative if you know how to play the game.   The main difference between an IT professional employee versus an IT contractor is that the relationship is business-to-business (B2B).   You the contractor are offering your services as a business.  It's essentially a form of self-employment.

The advantages of IT or Telecom contracting is that you control your work flow.  You can usually choose what assignments you want and for how long.  This is great if you enjoy a the freedom of a self-directed work life.

The downside is, there's no guarantee of work or cash flow.  When things slow down, the businesses from whom you usually get your assignments are under no obligation to supply you with work.  And, payment for your work assignments can vary.  Some companies you do business with might be slow to pay (this is common, unfortunately).

I've created a course on how to get started.  There is very specific information you can put to use immediately.  And, honestly, a lot of people don't know this type of business arrangement even exists.  

I don't publish the course openly online because I want to vet who gets access to this information.

If you're interested, email me at steve@networkadvisor.net and put the word "Technology Contractor Course" in the subject line.
