Just found out that because of the excellent progress my team has been making in hitting its targets, there's actually not going to be any need to keep me for the full duration of the contract & I'll be finishing on 30 September. A full 3 months early :-(

I think you spelled "Sit back, relax, no need to fret, don't bother looking around for another gig until after New Year" wrongOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyIt's not a terrible time of year - tulip happens, wouldn't worry about it. Revise the CV, Get networking and hit the market.

Market was dead around March/April.
