Market is looking better than December but still very poor when compared to Jan last year when I was also looking. Anybody else finding it the same?

I had a quick look yesterday out of interest as my contract runs till the end of April and I was too enthused either

my phone was on fire on Tuesday - battery down to 20% by 11:00 in the morning! Definitely a big improvement on December. Got some interviews lined-up already. Fingers crossed.Comment

The market is good.
Finished last contract mid December then started looking at the start of January. Phone never stopped ringing since and secured a role yesterday. Even NHS contracts seem to be picking up as had a few calls.
Don't believe the doom and gloom (unless you contract mainly in the financial sector).Last edited by Regent; 11 January 2012, 13:02.Comment

IMHO, the market for IT contracts seems to be okay at the moment. I did expect to be out of work for a while this year but this hasn't been the case.Comment

I agree - there are roles out there but a noticed a larger than usual ratio of permie roles.Originally posted by Regent View Post
In the finance sector where i've been looking - rates are a bit below average, too soon for me to tell if the number of roles are high/low as we're still 2nd week of Jan.
But hearing about RBS IB shedding jobs, a whole heap of other IB's cutting contractor rates by 10% i'm expecting finance to be not so good in the first quarter.Comment

Yes that's my feeling. I have so far been going for the financial sector and it isn't looking good.Originally posted by yamamma View PostComment
