My current "job" such as it is (

I started on £9600 back in 1990. Don't know how I managed on that back then. Well I do know actually , I was still living like a student for the first 5 years."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

another one. this is actually very reasonable.
as a recent grad i would be extremely happy with 150 a day!
I currently have an urgent contract vacancy to be based in the East Midlands for 9 months.
Our exclusive client is seeking a Junior Programmer / Developer. You will require some knowledge of Visual Basic and SQL.
Ideally the client is looking for someone who has a strong academic background and is able to demonstrate an ability to learn quickly. Possibly a recent graduate looking to further their experience within Analyst / Programming?
The daily rate is set to be around £150. If you are interested then please reply with an updated CV, I will call you to discuss.
