    One week left on my contract

    And I haven't got that extension paperwork through yet.

    But it's lovely out and I'm on holiday in a couple of weeks - I might hold off putting my CV out on the boards and enjoy a few weeks in the sunshine.

    It all depends on how easy it is to get the next contract. I envy those who have the most marketable skills, able to move from one contract to the next at leisure! I've been fortunate with mine but it's very much a niche, which means I can't choose the timing myself.

    Enjoy your summer

        It's a matter of gut feel, but I had a couple of nibbles when I uploaded my CV and left it visible on one board for a few days.

        I don't think there'll be a problem once I've opened it on all the boards.

          I was in a similar boat. I was quite looking forward to a few weeks sat in the garden enjoying the weather but I landed a short gig that takes me right up to my holiday.

          Now I sit in clientco office without A/C and the strong sun pouring through the window at me sweltering in my suit

            Get yourself a 2 days per week remote working contract for the summer.

              There's never a rush.

              "Take it easy", as my carribean friend would say. Before lighting a spliff.

              (which I never do, I better add..)
