I've had another dead end. Frustrating because, again, the role was spot on and my CV genuinely should be top of the pile. I've got a mini project I'm about to start, but if this carries on after I might have to seriously visit my CV.
Either that or I'm just way too expensive.Comment

This is a role with the "new" Scottish Benefits Agency... pay peanuts, etc., etc... I wonder why all news coming out of thiscluster****splendid initiative is bad, bordering on catastrophic?

Must've sent around 15 applications over the weekend, all perm as at this point there's just no contracts in what I do. Absolutely nothing back, not even a single email or phone call and 90% of the roles I applied for were perfect fit.
I'm giving it two more weeks, if it stays like this (and I reckon it will as it seems to be getting worse than better), I'm packing and leaving the UK (after 13 years) :/Comment
