1. The Successful IT Contactor can go from job site to job site and adapts well to the different conditions, the different tools, the different culture, and the different ways of working. Those who can’t do this will struggle.

3. The Successful IT Contactor has a willingness to help other people without judging them or criticizing their mistakes. Contractors have a wealth of knowledge of how things are done at different sites, and it can be very useful for both permanent management and permanent employees to be able to tap into this reservoir of knowledge.
4. The Successful IT Contactor has the ability to know when his advice is wanted and when it is not.

QUESTION: I'm pretty angry. Six months after shipping an order, Amazon refunded my buyer, who claimed she didn't place the order. She never contacted me or returned the book, and Amazon took my money! No A-to-Z Guarantee claim was filed, and nobody asked for my side of the story. What can I do?ANSWER: You should do what I've done in similar cases: become a very squeaky wheel.

How would you feel if you were sitting at work, too busy to think, and every time your phone rings someone is trying to sell you something you don't need? Put yourself in the journalist's pl
