Or what's the successful way to get a contractor job? I've been interested in getting my foot in the door for a job like that for a while but don't seem to know where to find them (I used to check USAjobs when I had lots of time and before I was continually unsuccessful) or the handshake when I found them. I have a background in aviation/development, marketing, mid level management and like to think I'm pretty smart and pick things up quickly. So any of you have pointers for me or those of us looking? I'd love to hear any pieces of wisdom you may have! Thanks!
