Mini Boom (and gloom)

Was due to finish in a few weeks but have now been extended up until Christmas eve. The extra few weeks should give me more breathing space to start looking in Jan. On the other hand I was hoping to find a new role but the market seems dead, the current role is boring me half to death. Oh well can't complain with an extra few weeks of invoicing.

What's your skill set? Market does seem to have gone quiet. The hardest thing I find is not to let the self doubt creep in. A quiet market is a quiet market and nothing else. Crap time of year to be looking mind.
