I work for myself in that most hated of setups, a one person limited company. I work in a very niche area of IT and I set up this way because it's the only way clients will engage me.
Since Covid I have had clients cut back so that I am now only working around 10 hours per week. This isn't going to be sustainable in the longer term.
I don't qualify for (and am not expecting nor seeking) any government help.
Linkedin seems to have a lot of job vacancies posted but any I have asked about are on hold due to the circumstances.
I know it's going to seem like a silly question - but is anyone recruiting at present?
