Been stuck on client site since Feb. Extended to end October, told they'll find stuff for me for Nov-Dec-Jan but expect to be around all next year as well.

Bored with it though.

4-week contract? You must be desperate.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Might do a temporary Xmas shop instead to break it up.

How do you work that out?
it was close to home, paid well and an exact match for my specialist area.

As SC says why do you say that? I've done a few for various reasons:-

• Ridiculous money to solve a nightmare for new client from a previous manager.
• To get more experience on a skill I wanted to know.
• Christmas spendies.

In none of those cases was I desperate. Two paid very well and the middle one gave me a skill that definitely allows me to stand out from the crowd.

Granted they are not the first contracts I look at but once in a while they do offer a bit of variety, a chance to refresh a skill set or simply stupid sums of money.

WHS.

I'm presently on my 35th contract. Smallest duration was 2 days longest 2 years. Had three running concurrently at one point this year, and since 1997 the longest I've been on the bench was six weeks and that was last year when I moved back from perm to contracting and re-invented myself. Now there is no shortage of work for my new skillset.

To be fair to Suityou, I think he's got his attitude & level of effort for getting contract work spot on.
