Market condition so far in 2012

[MyUserName]

My contract expires next month and I have been offered a renewal, I have also been offered another contract at a different company and have had phones calls about another one that wanted to interview me.

Although the market might not be as good as it was last year it does not seem that bad.

Got rung about a contract on Thursday, did a phone interview with an hours notice on Friday and signed a six month contract* at a good rate today.

It can be done.

* Yes I am aware a contract is only as long as it's notice period, before anyone reminds me.

Congratulations that's good skills

One thing is for sure - this January as a whole is a lot worse than last January - I know as I have been applying this year just as I was last year and I was receiving a lot more calls and I saw a lot more roles coming through. Let's hope this doesn't continue into 2012.....
