More and more candidates in the industry are turning to #contract work! Self-Employed life has it's swings and roundabouts, and is often overly glamorised, when considering this route make sure it works for you! Pros: - Greater earning potential ; More Money 💰 - Pick and choose where you work (overnight stays, commute ect.) 🚗 - Broaden your skillset working on a wide range of machines - More flexibility to change jobs - Widen your industry network 👯 Cons: - Unpaid Holidays - No additional benefits ; health insurance, sick pay, life insurance, death in service you will have to pay for yourself. - Ebbs and flow in the demand for your speciality (less job security) 📈 - Administrative duties on-top of your workload 📊 - Additional headaches like chasing payments, filing tax returns - Less training, unless funded yourself. - Difficult to return to permanent work if anything changes.
