What are you going to use instead?

Same thing that has got me every contract and permie job I have had since 1992, personal contacts.

Highly skilled IT bod, will work for vast amounts of money - No agents.

For all the people who don't connect to agents or have the "privacy for your contacts" option ticked you do realise that LinkedIn has recruitment packages that give recruiters access to the entire LinkedIn database!!! Remember if you are not paying for a service you are the product. I think packages start from about £4000 a year.

Unfortunately I don't have that luxury

Do they have visibility of all your other connections? I've always avoided adding too many agents cos I don't want them seeing all my other links.

Only if you prevent your connections from seeing one another.

I got my last gig via linkedin and connect with pimps. saves you contacting them to tell them your available.

It seems a lot more gigs are being advertised on LinkedIn.

Nor really does he. No one has told him that peoplesoft was taken over years ago.

Mwahahaha good point

Try and stay upbeat you'll never know what is about to come up

Things seem to have picked up a bit over the past couple of days. I'm in for a few things now. A little more hopeful at getting something after this with little down time between this one ending and the next starting. I've had no down time over the past 4 years and only 2 weeks of non contract time since june 2006, so I've not done too bad!
