I'm interested in hearing peoples views on this topic.
I've had been looking for a new contract for about 3 months and like all of us, had endless waste-of-time calls fishing for information or trying to pitch perm roles they can't fill on the market. I worked my ass off to perfect my CV, ensuring I update my CV regularly on all the main channels etc, but got nowhere. 3 interviews but no offers (all of the interviews went well).
After about 2.5 months I started to get in touch with old colleagues, had an informal 'interview' with an old director and within 2 week I got a £550/d contract out of the blue, signed.
Do you think contracting is all about who you know and how does it compare to the wider perm market?
