On your resume, list your time as a contractor as a single position (“software developer, contract” or better, “software developer and principal, $my_llc_name”)

On your resume, list your time as a contractor as a single position (“software developer, contract” or better, “software developer and principal, $my_llc_name”). Then describe it the way you would a full-time employee position. Just list your big-name contract employers as clients in a single bullet point. It won’t help build your network but will make you look a bit less like a job hopper on your resume.
