■A Guidebook for Living as an IT Freelancer Currently, many freelance IT engineers work under “SES contracts” through agencies. This working style involves being stationed at a company to perform system development and other tasks, which may seem free at first glance, but in reality, you’re often tied down by time and location, and can easily end up in a situation no different from that of a company employee. This book focuses on the “contract work” style of work, which is not often discussed in many freelance books, and presents specific strategies for IT engineers and students considering going independent to survive as self-employed individuals without relying on previous jobs or agents. ■Explains essential know-how from four perspectives: preparation, skills, money, and management This book covers all the know-how you need to succeed as a freelancer, from preparing to go independent, the necessary skills, how to earn a stable income, taxes and laws, to work efficiency and health management. It’s a useful book for IT engineers who want to take a step beyond their corporate job and realize their ideal lifestyle without being tied down by time or place. The book will focus on the following four points: • Preparation: This guide covers the skills and knowledge required to become independent, as well as the procedures for starting a business, and provides information to help you get started smoothly. • Skills: We will teach you how to effectively communicate your technical abilities through skills inventory and portfolio creation. • Money: We will explain in detail how to think about how to request work and how to utilize available systems. • Management: This course provides comprehensive know-how for succeeding as a freelancer, including work efficiency, health management, and community utilization. After reading this book, you’ll be able to earn money freely using your skills, regardless of location or time, and achieve the lifestyle of your dreams. Take a step away from your salaryman and carve out your own path as a freelancer! ■This book is recommended for the following people: • IT engineer considering going independent as a freelancer • IT engineer already working as a freelancer • Students considering starting their own business ■Paper image
