    I've been looking for work actively for 6-8 weeks now. I would last week was when my phone really started to buzz for roles and interviews. I've definitely noticed a slow down in terms of the roles on the job boards so it looks like people are already well into the Christmas mood. Even the contract positions I have applied for start in Jan.

      Every contract I've taken has involved poor HR processes, lag in system set up, the 'nothing to do/adding no value' phase - there's much more seasoned contractors on here but I'd consider this standard. Won't be the last time.

      Give it time, head down, get to the end of the contract and reassess. I wouldn't start leaving contracts midway through so early in your contracting career, that's not a reputation you want.
