Hey, Have to say I'd be very interested to hear also. I've just graduated in Electrical and Information sciences, (Cambridge, UK). I'm now going through the process of setting up my own company and doing consultancy for a variant of clients which I have had previous connections with. How did you get your first jobs, and meet your first customers? (If anyone needs anything doing contact me :-P) At the moment I'm reasonably busy, however I can see an end insight when this work finishes where I need to find more new business (4-6 months ahead) and I need to deal with this situation now, any suggestions?
