Tips for getting contract work (lemmy.ml)

submitted 9 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm looking for part-time and/or short term contract work, but having a hard time because all the major job sites have either no ability to filter, or the posters just select every option so their post shows up in every search.

Does anyone have any tips on how to find this kind of work? Is it best to source it on my own, or are there good agencies to work with?

I'm looking for any kind of developer roll (I've done backend and full stack), and am open to mentoring/tutoring as well.

Where are you?

In the US, I’ve found these kinds of jobs on Indeed with the built-in filters.

I’ve also had success with recruiters from Robert Half lining up interviews for jobs that fit narrow preferences. And companies seem to love to give contract jobs to RH.

Thanks! I am in the US. I've never heard of RH, but I'll definitely check them out.
