OK first you will need an agent, so I suggest you dig out a brown envelope and stack it full of used tenners and drop it off at dodgy's independent traders. Oh and I almost forgot let me have a CV and a list of all your contacts and references.Originally posted by LumbaBread View PostI meant the whole site, not just the General subforum. The advice one can find on this site can be extremely valuable.
This time next year...Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

Have you ever licked the chutney spoon?Originally posted by LumbaBread View PostYup, knowing full well what can happen ... having a hard chin is a prerequisite for contracting ( although it helps with many other things as well )....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
