Conventional termination and unemployment: everything you need to know
After obtaining your conventional termination, certain cases allow you to benefit from unemployment to prepare for your new professional project.
To find an IT mission that matches your skills, there are many specialized platforms and databases in the tech sector. Here, we only cover ways to find a job offer as a freelancer or independent contractor in France.
In the era of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and IT development, a wide range of jobs is available. Here are six main categories:
The most common jobs are Data Engineer, Data Analyst, Project Manager, or Mobile Developer.
The offers for IT consultants are also very varied. Firstly, by their duration. You can work from a few days to a few weeks or even months for the same company, especially if you are installing a new information system or need to train a large number of people. Some structures offer contracts in a managed services model, especially Digital Services Companies (ESN): in this case, you have the possibility to work on-site at your client's premises but remain more flexible with your hours (full-time or part-time) and the content of your work compared to an employee. If you work with a traditional private structure, the missions are generally shorter, with the ultimate goal being to secure a long-term maintenance contract. This way, you benefit from a regular and assured income.
Companies rarely require a specific status. You will only need to be able to invoice your missions, meaning having a SIRET or SIREN number and an independent status, whether you are in a micro-enterprise, EURL/SAS, or umbrella company.
The status of auto-entrepreneur is the best choice to start in IT missions. The creation formalities are very simple and free. And you will pay relatively low charges: around 20 to 25% of what you invoice as a service provider, depending on whether you opt for the tax release on income. However, your social protection will be less than if you were an employee, especially if you have recently started and your turnover is low. The maximum daily allowances are around 55 euros, but often much lower, in the range of 5 to 20 euros.
For greater security, if you fall ill or cannot work temporarily, umbrella company for IT missions is an interesting solution. You remain independent but benefit from the same social advantages as if you were an employee, particularly social security protection and, if you wish, meal vouchers or reimbursement of your mileage expenses.
To access it, you sign a tripartite contract with your final client and the umbrella company like Weepo. Contact us and we will help you choose a mission!
Although it is not a platform solely dedicated to job offers, LinkedIn has a dedicated section. From your profile, go to the Jobs category: you access a selection of missions that often match the skills you have listed on the platform. By clicking on "See all," you can filter offers and search with the job title and location.
Also, do not hesitate to contact specialized companies to check their activity and not miss any of their news. After all, LinkedIn remains a social network, and the relationships you build there can make a big difference in the results you find.
Another option, if you want to reduce the time spent searching for IT missions, is to choose a specialized platform that only lists offers in your fields. You just need to enter the job title and location. The search engine will suggest a selection with a brief description of the tasks, modalities (telework, on-site...), and duration. You can visit freelance platforms like WeFree to find a mission that suits you!
