100 applications, not one call

[suityou01]

Anymore trying to beat the swear filter and you'll be banned.

Seriously.

Are we talking perma ban here?

Seriously though, sorry.

Nah there's loads about, got offered two just by looking.

How come Jobstats - IT Jobs Salary Rates and Market Information is no longer being updated. I know it's a CUKKER who owns it? Come on own up which one of you lazy deflects is it????

Increase your skills from ‘O’ to ‘OWO’

It's a longterm gig though - you'd fall foul of the 2 year rule right from the outset.

No, it was never my intention to work there beyond 2 years. It just happened.

Made over 100 JS applications in the past week. Not one call. Not a sausage. Prior to this week I've had calls.

Is it :

a) Quiet market with bogus JS ads (it happens)?
b) CV smells tulipty for some reason?
...

Stop right there - You'll never bag a JavaScript contract without JQuery on your CV. Could that be the problem?

HTH

Just had a call

For a .netter

and £200 per day

And it's commutable from home

Cheeky rate, but better to earn 50% of something than 100% of nothing.

I did ask for a weeks notice clause though

Are you really so desperate that you don't have a decent warchest.

a) Quiet market with bogus JS ads (it happens)?
b) CV smells tulipty for some reason?
c) Your most recent gig was not a BA role, you are applying for BA roles and most agents are too ******* stupid to read beyond the first role?
d) There is a conspiracy out to get SY01 and the bastards won't rest until he last lost everything including his mind?
e) It's been a week you turd, calm the **** down and think seriously if you are cut out for contracting?
f) Contact AndyWs mother, she'll hook you up.

(Couldn't really be arsed to do a proper poll, and to be fair it's a kind of self indulgent crappy thread so probly doesn't deserve one)..

Flame away / harangue me on PMs for starting the Kryen sockie or whatever

[Seriously, the tulip I got for the Kryten sockie nearly made me leave the board. Some delusional types on here that take this board as real life, it's scary]

It's probably because there's a glut of mediocre people with soft skills in this market.
Whereas there's a real shortage of top-end hard-core people.

Can't win can I?

fk me - you get £400 per day for a PMO in Edinburgh but only £300 for .NET - mental - stop coding and start taking minutes!

Take it Suity! Soon they will realise your potential and will not want to give you up and at that point tell them your rate is 400.
