This is how I get my next consulting assignment

Tech Relations advises you as a consultant to be more proactive than ever in looking for your next consulting assignment. Here we list 5 tips for how to get your next consulting assignment.

1. You should have an account and profile on CV databases, for example we like Brainville.
Here you will be visible to brokers, consulting companies and customers in an effective way. Make sure to post all your technologies, write when you are available and link to the Linkedin profile. It is also important to post a professional photo and your contact information.

2. You must have an attractive Linkedin profile & Headline where you write in your profile heading that you are looking for a new consulting assignment and also write your role. For example “Fullstack .net developer, Azure, is looking for a new consulting assignment” You also need at least 4 new recommendations that tell you how you are as a developer, for example. This increases your chances.

3. You should contact previous consulting clients, managers, colleagues in the industry to find out if they need your services. Get in touch with many consulting brokers and consulting companies. (Because some consulting companies hire sub-consultants when they do not have the right skills available.

4. You must have a clean and concise CV, preferably in different versions, languages and roles. If you have, for example, worked as a developer and Tech Lead, you should each have your own CV that highlights each role. Always have a Swedish and English version ready. Let a photographer take a nice picture. Highlight how you are as a team member and your results in each assignment. Let someone review your resume before submitting it.

5. Be active in social media and towards your consulting brokers. Be top of mind and let us know that you are available and clarify in which roles, industries, and what hourly rate you are at.
