Whats the right way to list short term projects on resume?

Ok, so right now I'm in between jobs but I've been fortunate enough to do some short term projects to help out. I want to show that I'm staying with it and still working and doing something. One project is a week long deployment and the other is where basically they call when new work orders come up. Whats the proper way to list these?

Are you just doing this independently? Are these contracts?

I'd put something like:

Self Employed xx/xx/xx - Present

Notable Project
Notable Project
Notable Project

One's a contract, the other is a subcontract.

What about for the short term project that I signed a contract for?

Excellent question. In this climate companies want people who have experience of changing stuff. To stay afloat there's lots of stuff to change and maybe save some money along with it. I would put your most recent change work foremost in your CV and talk about anything you are *doing*. Steady state support even in NOCs is less well thought of these days.

I understand everything you said, except this last sentence...

What does NOC stand for?

Network Operation Center?
