I think I've screwed myself over big time
Advertisements [?]
Basically, I've pretty much stuck to doing short-term project based work as a contractor(IT stuff) Which I thought was awesome because I would be able to work for a few months toward something tangible, and then I'd be done with it and could find something new. Now I'm thinking I want something more long-term and stable, but it seems my project based work isn't real employment to most. I'm trying various ways of formatting my resume and whatnots, and that seems to help me get an interview (sometimes), but it nearly always comes back to the lack of any solid career that lasted more than a year (last long-term job was not related to IT and back when I was in school in the early 2000's)

Anyone else get into this position before? Any ideas on how to get out of it? I'm figuring maybe I'll get lucky and just going for short-term projects until I get lucky... I suppose I should be lucky I have any job these days, aye?
