Introduction to this Blog

Greetings!

I am proud to announce the launch of this blog which will be a tribute to those IT Consultants working hard with little reward other than the praise we give ourselves! Through this Blog, I plan to offer two perspectives of contracting; 1> for New and Experienced Contractors; and 2>, A "back office" view of recruiting agencies.

Hopefully you will enjoy these posts and pass along to your fellow contractor friends as it comes from my many years of experience of contracting and managing contract consultants as I am doing currently in the Chicagoland market.

Be advised, you will not see job postings here, but you will see pertinent information about IT Contract Consulting and the day-in-the-lives of consultants like ourselves. I hope you enjoy this Blog as it is dedicated to you and our fellow contractor colleagues.

Please stay tuned for my book due out fall of 2009 that acts more like a field guide to contracting. It will elaborate on many of the topics in this blog to help you and others like you who are either getting into IT Contract Consulting or have been around for a while be as successful as possible in this often difficult and thankless business. - Oh, and tell all your contracting buddies to go buy it! :)

Ok... Now, heads down and get back to work so your client doesn't bust you for reading blogs!

Cheers!
Jon
