Well My Strategy has always been to look for work, even though I don't need it. I have only ever had to go through agencies 3 times, so far. I have a profile on all the sites and leave them active, place my Consultant profile up. I also have a linkedin profile which I keep active. I also spend an hour a week, just browsing the net looking for new oppurtunities. I never get comfortable in a role. As a contractor you can't afford to get a gig, and stop looking for another. I always keep in mind that you live on a 24 hour notice period, but you still need to pay that mortgage at the end of the month. So no rest.
Your mistake was to go on holiday without lining yourself up with another gig. I always give the guys I worked with on previous contracts to see what they're up to, and what gig's they got going on.
You just got to keep your head up, be aggressive in your search, don't rely on one site to source work, use all of them.
I remember when Gisajob was all the rave for finding work, but not so much anymore, these are trends, follow them
