The role of IT contractors has changed in-line with the market. IT contracting is often synonymous with boom periods - large projects and big budgets have driven the need for a readily available and flexible workforce.
The demand for specialist contractors is still evident, though often for highly specialised requirements for a definite period or phase of a project.
Interim positions are an avenue that a number of IT professionals who are faced with redundancy are considering for the first time as they can present an opportunity to experience a different industry or market sector.
IT professionals made redundant from the private sector can bring their commercial skills to bear in the public sector, which is keen to hire individuals with a commercial background. It is important that jobseekers research transferable skills and understand how these organisations operate.
