you could try the same technique perhaps: stand outside at the wharf or city with a large placard that says "it contractor looking for work. Will work for £500/day. 2 days wfh minimum. Must be outside of ir35 and allow time for posting on cuk."

There have been a couple of these guys that hit the papers and got top jobs. It's not bad, he's just chancing his arm at a publicity stunt and his 15 mins of fame.
Can't find the one I have in mind but like this.

Is it that bad or is he that bad?
Just saw a guy at Canary Wharf shopping mall with placard that read "Business Analyst/Banker looking for a job. Please take a CV".
I just couldn't believe my eyes. Is the market that bad or is he that bad (no offence intended)?Tags: None
