    Hit that block button, problem solved. Then you can focus on your much bigger issue, of being one of life's oxygen thieves.

          Not seeing much of a post Summer holidays bounce other than a few adverts appearing which no doubt either don't exist or get hundreds of applications.

            Yup, very slow but it can't stay this slow forever.

              Completely agree with you man. And this point of the year, it may now even be Mar/April 2025.

              I honestly can't believe how bad it is. It's like the universe has conspired to be against me.

                100% ignore the number of applicants count on LinkedIn. 99% will be scammers and dreamers from abroad.

                  Plus it counts you if you get half way through the process and it asks you how much experience you have in something that wasn't mentioned in the advert.

                    This is true. My client recently posted for a developer on LI and got > 300 applications. Not one of them had real experience of the main skill being sought! I was able to find them 4 or 5 good candidates by posting to the jobs channel on some relevant Discord groups.

                      Government to tackle 'economic dependency on net migration'

                      Should be a positive for contractors, if it happens.
