State of the Market

This is so true, not only does it ignore your keywords, it seem to ignore any filters you set (permie or contract). It also allows you to click "don't show me this again" and then merrily show it to you on the next search.

Then there's the multiple "women in coding" and LGBTQ alliance roles. Should I even bother applying for those if I'm not a woman or gay?

The whole thing is an absolute mess, but slightly better than Jobserve which seems to simply have no jobs.

I suspect that Jobserve is applying search terms correctly and is showing no jobs when there are no jobs. LI is throwing back anything it can find to keep you on the site.

UK Plc losing the ability to produce its own software is nothing short of a national scandal and is placing us at the mercy of geopolitical trends. And no, I don’t think I am exaggerating.

That's what they said about coal, steel, ships, etc. etc.

The HMRC will get what they wanted. It's just they should have been careful what they wished for.

Isn't this exactly what HMRC wanted? they were always the ones thinking if you are a contractor you should pay the same tax as a permie not understanding that if you were a permie your salary would be half of your rate as a contractor thus tax would be lower than what you pay now. So now they just have a load of low paid permies, tax income must be down, but they have achieved what they wanted in the first place.

When the recovery will happen is now uncertain, i was expecting April next year but the budget has thrown a spanner into the expected recovery.

TBF, most of those have all been outsourced. Face it boys we are clock faces in a digital world

Our lack of energy independence has caused problems in the last few years due to energy bills rising. Putin has used gas supplies as a weapon previously. As for the other two we won't know until we ever reach a point that we could have down with still having a steel or ship industry.

I just hear a list of events that will apparently need to happen before a recovery starts that happen then a recovery doesn't start.

I am not sure Labour winning a GE then producing a budget that didn't go down well with some in business or a Trump win should have been that surprising to anyone.

It really gets my goat!! lazy agents don't want to put in any work...they want the candidates to do their job for them...perm role job you submit your CV, then they want a one pager covering letter highlighting a match with your skills to the job....surely that is what the CV is showing your skills...so that is a duplicate a covering letter spelling it out....then they want a document uploaded as to why you are interested in this role! This is so outdated....i'm applying = I need the money/a job...

LinkedIn is a pile of tulip! no meaningful jobs/searches and just more sob stories by the day....
