Enhance your Contractor Personal Profile

In a tough Cloud & IT Infrastructure jobs market, you need to stand out.

If you want to find the best Cloud contract jobs and secure them you must first think about the first impression you give to IT Solutions & Services Providers.

Our Contract Team Lead Lee Barham talks us through how you can enhance your contractor personal profile:

“Your personal brand and the different elements that make it up are really important to think about.

There are many building blocks to your contractor personal profile.

These include:

Your online presence
Your current Cloud & IT Infrastructure job
Your hobbies and interests outside of work
Your areas of Cloud technology expertise

As a Cloud & IT Infrastructure contractor looking for the best roles on the UK market, you should always be looking to enhance your personal profile.

Your contractor personal brand gives real insight into who you are as an individual beyond the qualifications on your CV.

There are many methods that you can introduce into your routine and future plans to enhance your contractor personal profile.

You might think about finding new training courses to complete in your technical area, doing more reading around hot topics in the industry to stay up to date with business trends and also finding time for your interests and hobbies outside of work.

What do you do in your downtime? What interests you? What are your passions?

Above all else, a strong contractor personal profile must be matched with an ability to communicate it to prospective employers.

You should work on key interview and communication skills so you are ready to deliver your passions and expertise to hiring managers and recruiters face-to-face or over the phone/online. Communication is key in so many areas of day-to-day life, none more so than the process of interviewing and job searching.

One of the best ways to ensure your contractor personal profile is up-to-scratch is to talk to a specialist recruitment consultancy such as InfraView.

The best advice I can give is to be personal yet professional. Putting across to an employer who you are as an individual will pay dividends when progressing through your Cloud & IT Infrastructure career.”
