Yeah, I'll do that. I guess after staying at one place for so long...8
years! You could become "Institutionalized" :)

No probs, Luan. Although, why not start today? I only did it after my second
CCIE because that coincided with the end of my current contract and I felt
like a pay rise. :-)
You never know what opportunities are out there until you start marketing
yourself.
But that's just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the tips :)
I'll do this after my Security CCIE.

The first place I'd start is writing up your resume and then copying and
pasting it to LinkedIn. Search LinkedIn for recruiters and push it to ALL of
them.
I've been getting about a job offer a week since the day I started doing
that (a week after I got my Security CCIE). When they come to you, you can
negotiate better too. :)
My LinkedIn profile is www.linkedin.com/in/jaredscrivener - send me a
connection invite, Joe (and anyone else feel free to do so to as I accept
all invites). I've got about 1500 direct connections including hundreds of
CCIE's and IT recruiters, so you'll start with a 3rd degree network of
hundreds of thousands of people who will see your profile in their search
results if you write it well (think keywords). Feel free to use mine as a
guide. :)
Once recruiters start calling, find out if they have any SME clients in your
area etc. Or better yet, approach them.

Hi,
I have recently passed my CCIE R&S and I am looking at doing some part time
consultancy for SME type companies.
However I have no idea how to market myself or advertise to the right
companies.
If anyone who has had some experience with this could unicast me I would be
grateful.
many thanks
Joe
