    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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 )
