Synopsis

Despite the desperate shortage of contractors across every sector, many highly skilled workers in permanent employment wrongly assume they don t have what it takes to make the move into contracting. At the same time, experienced contractors are working in ways that make them miss out on the best contracts, leave them vulnerable to prosecution by the taxman, and cause them to earn much less than they should. The Contractors Handbook removes the mystique of contracting for first timers and is an invaluable reference guide for experienced contractors. For unbeatable coverage of the key issues facing contractors NOW, the Contractors Handbook provides: In-depth how-to guide for CV writing and interviews; Key guidance on the latest IR35 case law; Unique section on what to do when things go wrong; Advanced marketing and sales for contractors; Advice on contracting abroad and coming to the UK.

About the Author

Dave Chaplin has lived and breathed contracting since he first took the plunge and became a professional contractor in 1997. He spent seven years working as an IT contractor in the City of London on critical, cutting-edge IT infrastructure and development projects for global players like HSBC, Merrill Lynch, Cable and Wireless, and many others. Dave's contracting career has seen him survive and thrive through the highs of the boom years and the lows of the dot-com crash; and through bright periods of plenty and gloomy times of belt-tightening recession. He founded the popular contractor website, ContractorCalculator.co.uk, and has been its full-time CEO since 2004.
