But they won't come in until April, thats another 2 months on the bench.Originally posted by suityou01 View PostNew budgets coming up?
I've been out since mid-Nov (Java developer, North West England) and I agree it did pick up mid to late Jan I had a few calls out of the blue, with loads of promise, then... tumble weed. Even the permie job ads have reduced, there was loads before and just after Xmas.
I do hope there is a big wave coming soon, the only way out of this recession and downturn for major companies is to invest a little in their systems/processes. They should be preparing for the next surge in the economy so they can become competitive. I would of thought the contract market is ideal for this, allowing them to bring in expert professionals for 6 to 12 months.
At the end of the day, I just want to work again, bored of ground hog day now!Comment

Yeah I would have thought that the contract market will be better than the permie one, since its easier to get a contractor for 3 or 6 months at the moment, but there seem to be more permie jobs around.
Mid April means another two and a half months idle? That's hard to digestComment

I know it is. I'm doing some study, and looking in the paper for part time work just to bring some pennies in to try and eek things out.Originally posted by JohannM View PostKnock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

Problem is, how are we going to explain a 4 or 5 month gap in the CV? I mean my last gig was Nov, if my next is April/May, then thats a lot of time to be doing nothing productive.
Maybe we could all use each others Ltd's on the CV to fill the gaps and 'make-up' some experience.Comment
