Reply to: What Agencies?

Ok will do.

Point taken - thanks again !

You are welcome.

Also as you do come across agencies and it looks like something is interesting come do a seach on here (when it has been fixed) as there are a couple of them not doing themselves any favours and getting mentioned on here when they screw one of us over. Only a very small minority I may add but worth 30 seconds to avoid a horrible mess

My approach to newbies is fine. My approach to spoon feeding supposedly industry professionals information that is linked at least TWICE on this very page leave a lot to be desired yes.... but it won't be changing.

We are directors of our own small business's in a very difficult market. I would expect before people post they would do a little bit of basic fact finding that would be consistent with a director of a company. If you CBA why should I?

You go the info in the end didn't you?

Next time you need some information you will think to look around a bit, find it in half the time and be very pleased with what you find and as much as you hate to admit it it was me that helped you do that

Thanks for the pointers although your approach towards a newbie needs tweaking.

Well I found it to be quite condescending and sarcastic ie cba. Just no need IMO.

[NotAllThere]

Why does his approach to newbies need tweaking?

[omaragha]

I am guessing you haven't bothered looking at the icons at the top of this very page. I would point out which one will bear you some fruit but I cba. Oh there is the link in the right hand window that might help a little as well but again, will leave you to find it... HTH

You and hundreds of others.

Good luck with that.

WCS.
The PM market is decimated. Don't give up your day job (if you have one just now) and seriously think about pursuing alternative ways to earn a crust.

Dear Friends,

I am just embarking into the world of contract Project Management. I currently use the serach engine on CUK, Job Serve and Job site, could one of more experienced chaps point me to some reputable contract agencies worth registering with please ?

Any help warmly appreciated.

Register with Technojobs and CW as well.

Look for specialist recruitment agencies IMO - depending on sector/IT skill set as they network and work candidates much better e.g. banking - Aston Carter .....rather than generic agents who dont know one skill from another.

[omaragha]

Anybody else suggest some decent agancies worth talking to please ?

[omaragha]

Woudl you mind sharing that with me Cheese ?

[CheeseSlice]

It wouldn't hurt to speak with agencies, but there aren't specialists in Projecct Management. Agents get given requirements by their clients and recruit on them.

That isn't exactly true.

My current agent is a niche Project, Programme and PMO specialist agency.

(I'm not a PM but thats another story )

Thanks for the responses,

I would of thought in these lean times (thread already read cojack) it would be advantageous to be speaking with agencies ? Is my thought process wrong peeps ?
