Or camels*.

(* I think that just about covers most eventualities in a Professional forum.)

I was under the impression that camels/goats were OK?

Thanks all really appreciate the replies so far. I’m sure we can use a little more professional language though ?

Zig's hit it on the head really.

Savings stop contractors having the indignity of being Amazon delivery drivers in bench time.

Also re. 2 - don't be a woman.

I had a lovely young recruitment chap be really indignant when I pointed out that I wasn't what the (UAE) client wanted because I was a woman.

He did actually call back and apologise after he spoke to said client who confirmed my assertion.

1. Probably a difficult one. What do seasoned contractors do during periods of non working. Is it a good idea to have a side business eg amazon or something less stressful eg delivery of parcels. ?? Seems Amazon is taking over ?

2. Anyone done contracts in uae or have advice of getting a contract in that region etc?
