The contract market

[Doggy Styles]

There will be a position going here if my tourettes kicks off at the company lunch today.

That would be a good ice-breaker, wouldn't it. "Anyone else got Tourettes?"

I know a guy whose been benched for 3 months, but he's very now optimistic as he's just received an email from an agency he's never heard of asking him to update his cv and supply refs to prepare for a 'clutch of new opprtunities' in the New Year. What could be more boomed than that

If you are in IT prospects are good - if you are in Banking - you deserve to extinction or perhaps retraining in Lion Taming.

So how are we doing ?

A colleague of mine fairly easily got a new contract in Germany.

Doesn't seem that bad.

Sorry to hear he had to go to Germany .

Couldn't he find work in Holland or Belgium ?

UK market alot quieter than europe in my sector (Pharma and clinical research) - but lots of stuff in europe still.

lots of projects will be starting in the new year too from what i hear and when new budgets come through so it looks ok

Also, just recieved an e-mail that RBS need a test manager in Amsterdam.

Actually I hate banking, but as long as they pay.

I seem to be getting plenty of non-phishing calls from agents
Just waiting for one of the applications to turn into an interview then its boomed time

[norrahe]

same for me, getting calls from agents re jobs before they even hit the web, which makes a change.

Hopefully things are looking up

Unusual this. For 6 months its been dead for me. The last week I've had a number of enquiries from trustworthy sources for new gigs in the New Year. I hope things do get better. It's been really dead lately. I'm OK till July 09 now.
