Why the UK employs so many IT contractors:
As the UK economy slowly starts climbing out of the recession, the demand for IT contractors is climbing with it. Over the past few years, businesses have been practicing prudence and moving away from employing permanent IT departments, opting to use IT contractors instead. This trend has meant that in the first quarter of 2010, just over 40% of all IT jobs in the UK were contract-based, and this trend has continued.
IT contractor jobs are popular with employees too, as they provide highly flexible work and avoid the pressures of redundancy.
Did you know? IT contractors tend to be paid more than permanent staff doing the same job!
Expected salaries for IT contractor jobs:
An IT contractor can expect an average daily rate of £400, with the more senior IT contract jobs paying over £600 a day.
Standing out from the crowd:
IT contractors have a number of methods at their disposal to keep ahead of the crowd, but one of the easiest is to attend IT events and conferences. If you attend these events, you’ll have several impressive ‘extra curricular’ activities to add to your CV, plus you’ll always have interesting topics to discuss with interviewers. Many annual IT events are hosted throughout the year around the UK. These include the ‘Cloud Computing Congress’ in London and ‘IT Showcase Live.’
Finally, impress potential recruiters and secure those all important interviews by checking through your CV thoroughly. A mistake-free CV will show employers that you’re conscientious - a desirable skill in the IT industry.
