      Depends if you don't mind what people think about you after you said it.

          For some yes, for some no and for some others maybe. There is no one answer which is true for everyone, in every market, all over the country.

              Well its October not September.

              I currently have agents chasing me for about 4 different items and 2 offers but 1 is away the entire week.

              I will probably be staying at current clientco as although the contract environment manager is a useless the permies are a good laugh and I enjoy the daily entertainment....

                  November will be a really dead market for contracting. Too many people will be busy growing 'Mo's and will decide not to interview for fear their facial hair will be open to ridicule. December will be a boom month as they will have to recruit quick to fill the spots they put off in November.

                  HTH.

                    Yup, 25th is often seen to be statistically the best day of the year for getting boomed.....although late in the day on the 31st is not far behind!
