"How are you finding the market?"

[expat]

Im not finding the market any worse than it usually is - about the same number of contracts for skilled people, but a whole load of unskilled folk in the market that have no chance by all accounts.

I'm not finding that at all, but it depends on skills I suppose. My skills put me in for big expensive projects, especially new implementations. They're not going so well ATM.

"I turned over an ad for a shelf stacker, and there it was."

I agree with Nomadd and I tend to take that approach. You can always tell the agents who have an unsuitable role on a poor rate as they tend to get off the phone pretty quick sharpish once they find out you have enough money to really no be to bothered taking a poor contract.

I must admit though I have been lucky in that the current contract has lasted a year and I have just had a renewal for three months, so thats another three months into the 'recovery'

Me - OK had a few enquiries.

RA - So tell me about them.

Me - You got my CV there?

RA - Yes

Me - What's the Date of birth say?

RA - shuffle shuffle oh yes - 1 of XX , XXXX

Me - thank goodness for that I thought I'd put down yesterday.

RA - chuckle. Have a good weekend.

My local market is really good at the moment, picked up some fine apricots and cherries at a bargain price earlier in the week- should easily see us through the weekend.

You need to think about moving to India then.
