How full is the bench?

Thanks Dave - I can't keep up with all these letter thingies!

FFS - you're meant to work in IT!! It's how a stack works, rather than a queue.

There's no doubt a lot of pints to be sunk on Wearside tonight.

Dont fancy your chances as you are in Germany which is really starting to reel from the recession - maybe the USA client will bring you luck though.

There are some Mainframe requiements where I am but sorry its not in Germany.

Good Luck !

Thanks but a little bit wrong. There a quite a lot of mainframe requirements here (abd Switzerland,) I'm just being a bit picky. As I walked out of the door this afternoon to go into town for a coffee, the phone rang with someone asking when I can start a project in Frankfurt. I get around 4 e-mails a day for different mainframe projects in Germany. The trouble is a lot are for programming type jobs, in particular J2EE, which I ain't got a clue about.

Mind you I know a company in the USA who have just bought over 30 new top range mainframes and 4 companies in Germany who have also bought new mainframes (2 of which have never had mainframes, money saving, i.e: http://www.mainframe-exec.com/articles/?p=90)

Well it is though

I know what you're saying.. you're starting to put ideas in my head now sigh! Would pay the bills and keep the CV current I guess.. just emailed asking for a job spec if they have one.

better than having to explain the huge gap in your CV as a career break

It's a BIG bench, but it's getting fuller all the time, it seems.

It could be worse - have you considered permiedom?

I think I'd be as nichey in the prozzie sector as I am in the IT sector

Which niche of the prozzie sector would you inhabit?

[mailric]

Nothing up here in the north

Fed up of fishing agents who must have nothing to do either!
