      No it isn't difficult its a piece of P**s but unless you have actually rolled out office 2007 they won't consider you. Did consider twisting the truth as my previous company did roll it out but I'm not interested in London I'm a South Coast Girl.

        As dead as ever here.

        Good sign I suppose if PMs are being taken on.

          Indeed.

          I've had a fair few interesting calls over the last week too (PM).

            Phone has been ringing off the hook this afternoon.

            All complete mismatch roles and crap rates so far, but lots of phone calls are a better sign than no calls at all.

              I had my contract confirmed on monday, signed on tuesday and started wednesday. Tuesday afternoon I had 3 phone calls offering me testing jobs, one without interview as they already knew me.

              I think some of the big ClientCos went over the top with their clear outs at the beginning of the year and now need to hire again.

                FFS!!!!!!!

                Twice this week I've discovered job ads that were a perfect fit only to be told they've submitted enough CV's, both times the job had been up less than 48 hours. How can the client be getting the best people for the job?

                Getting ******* angry about this now.

                The market is tulip, the people we have to deal with are *******, I ******* hate this game now.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    I know what you mean.

                      Gotta have your finger on the button for some roles.
                      I saw one role advertised by an early bird agent at 4:30am.
                      Applied for it at 10am, called them up at 11am.
