    Best time of year to be looking, all those new budgets.

    Keep uploading your cv to jobserve, monster, job site etc.
    Re-upload even if only to move a comma. The last updated date on these sites drives the agencies.

    Widen your search, geographically, be prepared to work away.

    Widen your search technically, is there any roles you could do but might be a stretch and require some background reading? This reading could occupy bench time.

    Quieter markets provide opportunities

    Thanks for reminding me of the above tips
    I must admit I am only applying in London as I moved here, but I will widen my search geographically as well.

      Something will turn up bud, and when it does it will come from left field, and fast.

        Look out for tractors then.
        What happens in General, stays in General.
        You know what they say about assumptions!

              Yes you´re right on it´s own of course not, but another piece of news I got yesterday, and coupled with the fact that the bank I was working at sacked almost all the contractors, and the fact that the sacked contractors can´t get anything and the fact that I can see bog all on either Gulp or jobserver and the fact that I get private messages from contractors on contractor Uk are telling me it´s worse than they´ve ever seen leads to me believe that the market is not too hot at the moment.

              The permie market maybe better.
              I'm alright Jack

                Don't worry - Brillo will be back next month to resume normal service.
