This is a preheader to the article, where you high-level can write what it is all about. Explore the key personality traits that characterize an excellent freelance IT consultant.
As a freelance IT consultant, you operate in an ever-changing and always challenging world. You have to be of a particular breed to achieve success. Even though there is no fixed formula for successful consultants, some characteristic personality traits are prevalent in the best consultants.
When you start in a new organization as a consultant, your charisma dramatically influences how well you will get off to a good start in the organization. If you radiate self-confidence – knowing who you are and what you stand for – personally and professionally – people tend to get more easily drawn towards you. Furthermore, when you are self-contained, people are more inclined to see you as a sparring partner because of your soothing presence and the calmness surrounding you and your work. Part of this quality is knowing when it is necessary to step in and when it is not.
You are dedicated to what you do and have a positive and communicable attitude towards the challenges you and your colleagues face. Your passion for your craft and the project you have taken on is undeniable. And you are not afraid to show your commitment throughout the whole process – from the preliminary interview until the end of your project.
Your unmistakable engagement affects the people you work with, advancing cooperation and energy. You have a ‘can-do’- attitude which gives the client comfort in knowing that you have the expertise and ability to reach the target.
