I was out from June for several months, luckily something came up even though its not great. Its been the quietest I have ever known it. Even the waste of time calls from agents were not coming through, my phone was hardly ringing from one week to the next. The thing is there is not much you can do and like someone said suddenly one can come out the blue but the waiting can be hard.
Its hard to properly judge the market currently as we are getting into that quiet xmas period so will have to see what the new year brings.Comment

This may be teaching grandmothers to suck eggs... but:
Is he passively applying fro roles or is he tapping his network? Has he updated his LinkedIn profile to say he is looking for new role. Has he sent a personalised message to everyone he knows who may be able to help? His CV may be great, but perhaps he needs to work on his search approach?Comment

Its not the candidates approach there are way less genuine roles around & have been since spring. 1st excuse given to me by agents was brexit waiting to see what happens. Now I am told its the US elections waiting to see what happens!
I think companies are just shy to hire unless its essential they are happy to wait a while. I would not worry about 6-9 months gap I have been told its not uncommon for that right now. The most important thing is do not give up & remain optimistic but unless there is a big turnaround in mid-late Nov I think that's it until early 2017 the market will only contract further you may see a few xmas cover roles at short notice but apart from that its only going the same direction its been sliding towards for some time.Comment

PM saying current India visa situation is good does not help either! it should be stopped altogether for IT & backdate that decision at least 10 years then see how many vacancies pop up where they have to pay the market rate not way below to visa workers being exploited........

Hahahaha. Nice thinking but the race to the bottom needs cheap Indian labour. Just run through good old British companies. Make them work remotely then they don't need a visa.Originally posted by uk contractor View PostSee You Next TuesdayComment

I agree. I am tired of this. It is making a nonsense of software development in small medium companies.Originally posted by uk contractor View Post

I took at a loan. Then later the house was put on the market.
In the nick of time I got a job.

As I said with Brexit, better they're over here earning UK rates rather than in India massively undercutting us.Originally posted by rocktronAMP View PostComment
