I'm not looking for a contract, but keep a close eye on what is being advertised and rates paid. I have no intension of ending this contract early so there's no point in applying for anything until at least 2-3 weeks before it's due to end.
Sometimes its nice to find out exactly what the rates that are being paid (on adverts that don't specify).-------------

Not looking for a contract as i'm already handling 1 major long term contract
although I do have a couple of leads which i'm pumping for other smaller pieces of work. These would be direct rather than via a pimp.
I actually ended up having to take my CV off the job sites as I was getting pestered daily by agencys. Ok 90% of them were probably fishing for leads (
) but there must have been some genuine contracts in there.

yeah i still get other calls from agents who I spoke to over 6 months ago now, failed to place me or in the case of one didn't find anything suitable at all but still want to place me in the future.Originally posted by n5goonergod snap again.......now I only get calls from the ones who called 6 months aogo saying are you back in the market for a new contract, you said this is when your contract ends!!!!
There are some genuine agents out there who do keep a list of contracts they think will earn them money and try not to p*ss them off. Clearly spotted by the fact they never ask for references, details of where i've worked, or where i'm working nowCoffee's for closersComment

I havent given out my new phone number to agencies. This contract I got direct, and now I have enough contacts to find work direct, or I simply paste the agents (job ad) description of the company into google, 9 times out of ten it gives you the company!The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
