    Job of the Week...

    Just dropped into my mailbox, twice actually;


    My Manchester based client urgently requires a PHP developer to join his team for an initial 6week contract with chance of extensions.

    Essential Skills

    - 3+ years PHP experience
    - 3+ years MYSQL experience
    - Experience with Javascript
    - Experience with Jquery
    - Experience with Ajax

    Rate: £100 a day

    Any takers? I'd do it but I know nothing about any of the skills listed and I'd need £110 a day anyway to make it worthwhile...

    Next stop, £99.

    Soon it'll be buy one, get one free. (If it isn't already in Bob Land...)

      surely this contract will be lapped up by someone on tier1 visa
      In my line of work rates have fallen 50%

        I was in Australia a few years ago and a job came up for a dataflex programmer for two days work and it was about 100 dollars a day!

          Got this twice as well. Just looked at it and laughed. Might as well stay on the bench/go permie for that kind of money.

              I'd be tempted to reply to the agent and say "Haahahahaaaaahaahaaahaaaahaha"

              or something along those lines.

                  Left my last role pretty acrimoniously after they tried to switch the focus from server-side Java to entirely web/browser stuff. I did actually inform them that I wasn't going to let them "kill" my c.v. It's jobs like the above that make me glad I'm a contractor and can walk when the roles turn bad. As ever, you are only as good as your next contract.
