Oil and Gas People Issues IR35 Warning to Contractors
With the draft IR35 legislation for off-payroll working in the private sector being published recently, and not providing much glimmer of good news, being able to sell yourself and maintain a level of control over the assignments you choose is more important than ever.
Given the implications of IR35 in the months / years to come, 3 things are high priority:
1) Make hay while the sun is still shining
2) Maintain control over the work you do
3) Protect your outside IR35 status
All three points boil down to how, and how well, you can sell yourself. An Oil & Gas Contractor with a weak winning-work strategy will have less choice, lower rates and may end up having to take contracts that they wouldn’t otherwise accept.
There’s no denying that having a highly effective CV, a compelling LinkedIn profile and the ability to sell yourself and your business in an interview is key to garnering control over your business. It’s all about choice and if you are in demand, you can pick and choose assignments and dictate terms. Click here to register
