That's my tip for the day. Peace out.

What other sectors are there?

With all due respect, I don't think much business knowledge is necessary to do those kinds of roles as the skillset is pretty much static and hence you can more easily find the work. Is that a fair assessment?

All a load of crap. All the job ads I have seen so far in the past two weeks in those sectors all demand a 'healthy' amount of experience in those sectors and that is stated clearly on the jobspec.

Maybe it's because clients are feeling they can be a whole lot more picky now that there are loads of people on the bench, or so one argument goes.

As an example I got (another) call today and the agent went through the job spec with me and we ticked off all the boxes; had the role experience in spades. Then we get to the last box, 'must have experience in this sector to be considered for this position'.

Frustrating!

For banking there is a good reason. The users are total morons. You have to be able to tolerate them.

An "outsider" is a risk.
