- understand the difference between agency and internal recruiters since the relationship with the client changes how much influence they have on your offer
- if something is on your resume be ready to talk through the details, recruiters will ask about it
- build your skills on your own through things like github projects or affordable online courses to show you are moving toward the role you want
- if you worked a contract role, put that context on your resume with a short story explaining why it ended
- calculate contract pay by adding your benefits and pto into a lump sum and dividing by total yearly hours, not just cutting your salary in half
