        it's the second contract thats hardest to get. you dont have all that permie time to hatch plots and scheme your way into a contract.
        Instead you have a piddly little warchest and brown adrenalin running down the back of your legs





        Can't agree with that more..... 1st one was easy - I turned down 5 offers before finally accepting one cos I was in a cushie perm role. The 2nd one was the real challenge....

        And well done to the OP

          Thanks very much all. The contract is for six months so should finish right in the middle of the April uptick in the market.

              WHS. It's all downhill from here, especially as you've found CUK.

                  admin is right. grow a bit of fear.
                  fear brings non complacency
                  non complacency brings self awareness
                  self awareness brings realism
                  realism brings goals
                  goals bring discipline
                  discipline brings toughness
                  toughness brings attitude
                  attitude brings pain
