How many are being chopped? If it's just you, forget it. If not, someone somewhere will be recruiting contract BAs in one of the offices or departments. Where are you based? Slough? If so, get on the blower to the bods in Leeds. Try calling some non-IT managers.Originally posted by Hiram King Of TyreComment

They are shedding 10% of engineers. I'll have to find out which agencies they use. To be honest though, I'd prefer something away from O2Comment

The preferred agency is MBT. They also use Elan from time-to-time.Originally posted by Hiram King Of TyreComment

I got a call today about a contract at 02, in Ireland, SAN support with some NBU thrown in for good mesure. I have received about 6 calls this week from Pimps, with jobs in the City for Server / SAN support. but my 6 month contract has just been extended by 12 months so I'm happy........

Depends on how long you've been looking.
Most Permies think Contractors just phone up their (sole) Agent and say 'find me something else .. within 10 miles of home .. give me a couple of weeks off though first . oh and I want another 10%'. Depending on how particular you are (personally I don't chase big money living away from home) a month or two isn't unusual. You've also got the disadvantage of being a new name as well.
Stick at it and treat getting your contract as a job in itself.Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment

Do MBT place contractors? Their website doesn't make it clear.
I know the feeling Alf. I'm just trying to understand whether my experience is normal and that a contract will come along if I keep looking in the right bplaces.Comment

I looked at the website address you posted and it looked more like they were some kind of consultancy company. I couldn't see anywhere to submit your CV or look for vacanciesComment

You can have my contract if you like. Willingness to submit to slow brain death appears to be the only skill needed.bloggoth
