Did you try dropping your day rate, seeing how many buzzwords in the jobserve ads are in your CV, being flexible on location and posting your CV to the job boards 5 times a day?
Green shoots they say. Something will come in at the last minute when you least expect it.

If you really want to work for yourself you need to think about everything you’ve done up to now and which particular skills can be offered in a different way to someone who’ll pay for them.
Now I know it’s easy to talk; it’s much easier to see opportunities when you’re in work as your mindset is perhaps more optimistic, but think about it.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

I am realistic about rates in the current market, I have few buzzwords in my CV as I get enough pointless phone calls from lazy agents with irrelevant job descriptions.
I'm not flexible on location other than a 50 mile radii from Bristol as I like to see my family, I can’t help but think that agents are taking more of a margin these days to protect their income which they may get away with on high rate contracts but support roles going from £28 ph to just £18 or lower makes it near impossible to travel or stay away.Last edited by gingerjedi; 14 May 2009, 11:36.Science isn't about why, it's about why not.
