I unemployed at the moment and want to be self employed not as business owner staight away but I'm open to that.I'm looking for something that does not need too much experience and something that I can collect wage a.s.a.p

If you were self employed, you would be a business owner, so I am not clear about what you mean. Surely people work for themselves if they themselves have an idea or experience they could put to use?

Are you talking about working as a contractor?

Not sure what advice you're after tbh.

I mean self employed vacancies like working for a company but I choose my own hours and pay my own taxes that kind of thing.

Then you wouldn't be self employed. You would be employed by the company.

Depends on what skills you have.

Fang is right - if you were employed by a company then you wouldnt be self employed you would be an employee. Self employment means that you pay your own tax, NI, you can work for more then one company at a time, you get no holiday pay or sick pay and can end up working more hours than if you were an employee. I am self employed and regularly work a 60-70 hour week - I don't want to do those hours but if I want to be paid then I have to.

With self employment you have to have commitment and more importantly be passionate about what you do, if you're not passionate then that shows to potential clients.
