CAREER CHALLENGEs
Was This Year a Hit or Miss for You?
Now is the time to let your inner arrow fly and hit your desired target.
To shoot an arrow, one has to pull it backward. Then you release it and let it fly to reach its desired target.
Life can sometimes be like shooting an arrow. It drags you backwards and oftentimes it can be very painful and difficult.
However, just like the arrow, it is setting you up to launch you into something better.
Contract Jobs
I remember when I used to work as a contractor in the financial sector.
I would normally go for 6 months contracts with an attractive day rate.
Some months I would work anything from 20 – 23 days depending on the calendar month.
However, working a six months contract would earn me the equivalent of an annual salary.
However, the downside of working as a contractor is that there is no job security. Apart from getting a good day rate. I didn’t receive any employment benefits.
Therefore, the onus was always on me to secure another contract in advance. So, I could transition into another contract seamlessly.
