 Never Give Up - Never Surrender.Originally posted by AlfredJPruffock View PostIt is a paradox of life - them that have - gets.
 
 I have had over the past week three emails from agents whom Ive worked with in the past (all for genuine active positions) in my field - however as I am booked up for the next nine months I've had to graciously decline.
 
 At least it indciates some kind of increase in demand - two out of the three are for the Financial sector - for what its worth.
 
 So for the benchees - nihil desperandum.
 
 Never despair - and Don't give up.Comment

 I've applied for six contract gigs and one permie role today.
 
 I've had two calls from agents saying they will be calling me with dates/times for interviews - is is interesting and the other is utter pants (but I shall do it for the practice).
 
 Now I'm of to the Job Centre to see if they will pay for me to do the Scrum Master course & exam. Don't ask, don't get...My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
