      I don't know whether it's just the way the market is right now, or if it's a more permanent change that's here to stay, but I've had far better results this year on LinkedIn than on the once-reliable Jobswerve. JS is just full of spam from nouveau 'agencies' that don't have a clue now, I find.
      I am serving my notice and so back contract hunting so I followed your advice and had a look on LinkedIn but I couldn't see any way to search for contract positions so all I ended up was a huge list of permanent vacancies

      Or is there a way to search for available vacancies ~ jobserve?

        No - just overpaid for the work I'm doing and I think they suddenly realised this

        The role was supposed to be 6 weeks and it was then made into 6 months. There isn't much more I can get my mits on round here so I'm surpluss to requirements
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

            Yes I found the same, would pleased for someone to enlighten me as to how to search for contracts on LinkedIn.

            Sorry to hear the love affair with BarCap is over BB, hope something turns up quick. Have PM'd you a contact at Current ClientCo.
            Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.
