Or a perm in disguise. Like you were.

Just add these lines to your experience section:
2010-2016 Permanent Wage Slave
* Spent every hour of every day working for my employer
* Grew fat on crappy hotel food and lack of exercise due to spending all my hours in airports
* Work consisted of so much BS I've lost any skills I had
* Looking for anything at all in desperation.
Simples.

Looks like I haven't needed one since 2010, having done a two year contract, then a 4.5 year contract to perm where I got hired by an old boss.
What a faff. What's the longest you've had between updating a CV?

Get someone to do it for you. If you haven't already, attend one of the CV and interview advisers webinars.
