It is people looking for permanent jobs as well. I have no scientific data to back this up but the ones who start doing seem to be doing it for a while so I am not sure it helps them.

Rates are all over the place at the moment. Most of what I have been in the running for is the same rate Inside (or perhaps a little higher but not much) as I would expect outside but I got approached for a contract yesterday that if (and that is a big if) I got would be my best paid ever.Leave a comment:

My bum has firmly been on the bench since June.
With that in mind on a human level I am really sympathetic as I am going through something similar myself but it is a professional forum and I am not sure bearing your soul in such a way is a great career move. I have personally hinted I...Leave a comment:

The collective LinkedIn pre-Christmas meltdown of people looking for work has started. To a point I am sympathetic but I am not sure it does them any good actually finding a role....Leave a comment:

I got an interview off the back of it but it seems to be packing up for Christmas now.

I don't think it is over but it has definitely changed. I spent several years on and off leaving home in the middle of the night on Monday, staying near the client site then coming home Friday evening. Unless someone is willing too pay me stupid money that isn't economically worth doing anymore....Leave a comment:

Won't go into specific details out of respect to the agent and end client (who I am sure made the best decision for them as the saw it) but I had an interview with a company in another part of the country for a hybrid role yesterday.
