Of course, it's always more difficult if a permie role is what you're actually looking for. I've started exploring permie roles this month with the paucity of contracts that have been on offer, and all you get is "why do you want to go permanent?", and other nonsense like asking you which University you went to etc, despite the fact that it's been 15 years since I left.
There's one particular company up here that nobody entertains any more that was constantly asking for a degree from a "Red Brick University" in their adverts. Tell them that you actually went to one of the Ancient Universities instead, and they'd say no that wasn't good enough. It was as clear a case of "I don't think that word means what you think it means" as I've ever seen.
