Struggling to get the next contract

[Rebel]

In contracting there are always dead times for each skill set and the biggest one for everyone is at the end of the financial year. Head off to the beach somewhere warm, bring your laptop apply for roles, do phone interviews, and come back when you have something. It's suprising how quickly you get a role where you are somewhere you don't want to leave.

Great idea.... I might just do that!

I have never done this but its sounds very tempting as this contract runs out end of April. I could see myself on the beach or by the pool laughing at everyone else at home.

The Mrs wont be happy as she wont be invited

Just thinking about your welfare. Buy a jetpack, then you'll be grand.

Awwww, I'm just a horrible, nasty, cynical get, with poor social skills.

I should have thought better of you

I've just joined this forum and have to say it's given me some reassurance that it's not just me. I've been contracting pretty much my entire life and the contracts have been pretty consistent as well with very little gaps, one lasting 4/5 years. It's been a different story every since moving to London. I've found that I have been really struggling to maintain the same level of consistency, big gaps, this ones been going on for over 2 months now. Had a couple of interviews but received no feedback. It is what it is I guess. There seems to be lots of contracts out there which I'm applying for but I'm guessing that it's just competitive. Currently thinking of a plan B and putting it into action.
Trying to use the time to stay fresh and utilise it in the best way that I possibly can.
Remain positive, calm and not to take it personally.

How many DAs do we have?

One per duck.

Beautiful!
