Take 85 people at random who went to primary school in the UK. There are 5000 to choose from. 50% chance that 2 of those 85 will have been to same primary.
A perm job you say? Could it possibly be 'exciting' and 'unmissable'?
I know you're a contractor, and your CV is a contractor CV, and your job history is contracts, and your linkedin status says you're in a contract, and your linkedin status also says you're available for new contracts from October, and I know you've put your LTD into your linkedin profile, but I have the most exciting opportunity paying up to 30k for the right candidate, as a javascript and css front end developer in a car park just outside wotton-under-edge. Does that sound of interest to you?

Paying up to £30K means pays £20K.
Yes, we are awash with the "exciting and unmissable opportunities" to earn the same as a trainee painter and decorator whilst sitting in a Bob filled portacabin in a car park in Luton for 11 hours a day.
