Originally posted by lancerkris View PostBeen contracting for a few years now, but this is the first time i've had a contract end during July.
I've found that on the work front things have literally just fallen off a cliff.
This is normal right? guessing it's because managers/recruiters etc are all on holiday.
Thanks!
Not as bad as Belgium though, where you can forget almost anything happening in July/August...which is great if you have work, as all the wackos are off the road...Comment

Just had a call back from one I applied for two weeks ago. Agent says "the manager's back from holiday now and wants to interview you early next week"

Checking my pimpmail inbox, I find that from the start of August up to today I've had almost exactly half as many emails as I had in each of the same periods of both June and July. So yes, looks like quite a slowdown this month. I daresay it'll pick up again after the Bank Holiday.Comment
