The last few jobs I've had have never been advertised so I usually just chase agents I know handle the right kind of stuff, but I've been lucky enough to go most of the last ten or so years with jobs coming from contacts/friends/blind luck. Don't really work in the coding market so would have no idea where to look anyway.Originally posted by russell View PostThanks for trying, will give them a try, I usually put my latest CV on jobserve/jobsite and keep an eye on those for new jobs, then apply.

Oh c'mon don't generalize, I am sure there are 1 or 2 good workers out of the billions that flood the UK and force rates down.Originally posted by eek View Postmuch cheapness, plenty quickness and lots of reworkness to repair the utter crapness caused by 1 and 2.Comment

It was a generalization but definitely not aimed at you.Originally posted by russell View PostOh c'mon don't generalize, I am sure there are 1 or 2 good workers out of the billions that flood the UK and force rates down.
Remember work is a combination of quality, speed and price. You can have 2 of the three but never all of them. Bob tries to compete on both speed and price which means quality usually goes well tulip.
Good luck with you hunt but the market is scotland does seem to have gone dead. Sky were looking last month so you could try that although that is the joy that is Livingston.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
