How to get contract jobs?
No I meant your CV doesn't reflect any contract work, it looks like a permanent person trying to move into contracting. I would suggest to just take any day rate at this stage, just to get contracting work on your CV (unless that is already what you doing). I just use Jobserve when you looking...- SuPaStA

How to get contract jobs?
Normally you would secure the contract before leaving a permanent job but if it was not by choice then that is understandable. You have don't have a contractor CV that will play against you when applying for contracts. I wouldn't pay any agency commission to secure a contract they already get a...- SuPaStA

How to get rate raise from agency..
As per the other poster, you may be asking the Agency for a rate increase but the Agency may go back to the client to try and get them to increase the rate so they don't have to cut their slice of the pie. So for a 1 month increase you stand the chance of pissing off the agency and the client.- SuPaStA

Just finish the contract on good terms, its just 1 month's work - rather just ensure your next contract is paying market rate.- SuPaStA

Is it pointless to chase up Rec Consultants after applying ?
I don't think its worth it - if I apply for a role and they don't contact me the same day then I presume I wasn't a good fit for it or I need to re-adjust my CV.- SuPaStA

Query Regarding SC transfer ....
Yes depends on the supplier (from what I remember, need to check my emails), they removed a few years off my SC when I transferred it to the MOJ which essentially then meant it was going to expire the same year. They were good enough though to let me renew through them. There is nothing you...- SuPaStA

Anybody else been in this situation?
You correct normally extensions are spoken about to the client prior to any signed document but I cant remember they ever saying any specific month so when I got the contact I just assumed it was correct. Yep I think I'm just going to play it like that, thanks for the responses.- SuPaStA

Anybody else been in this situation?
What do you mean why did I sign it? How would you know the agreement between the client and the Agency, the only contract you see is between your LTD and the Agency. I found this out months after I signed the contract.- SuPaStA

Client pointed it out to me when we talking about when the contract comes to an end. I pointed this out to the agency but they have still not come back to me on the matter (they pretty hopeless).- SuPaStA

Anybody else been in this situation?
The agency during my last renewal made the contract a month longer than what the client agreed with them (ie. contract with agency ends in September, client's contract ends in August). Now the client wants to renew for another 3 months so really isn't a big issue, I'll rectify it on the renewal...- SuPaStA
