Not a contract though is it

In answer to the question - I'm getting plenty of calls - doesn't seem to be a drop off, and there are still loads of ads on Jobserve...

I am a .Net guy (with some decent credentials) and I'm getting lots of emails and calls. The only problem is that the agencies are doing the usual:

1. Take details and promise an interview with a great company
2. ?
3. Disappear of the face of the planet and suddenly hide in meetings.

I think we're facing a crash.

Fortunately I'm also a Linux guy (like all good contractors, I have a finger in every pot) so I've secured some work but it's literally enough to eat on and not have any fun.
