    I've not had a break in contracts since January 2005. (Many holidays, but no contract breaks).

    It sounds terrible, but they just seem to turn up at the right time for me. I've only got one through an application - the rest found me or were through previous contacts. Not sure if it'll continue like that, though - ITJobsWatch doesn't make good reading for my lot.

    That's because you're all washed up, face it.

    Being honest, the contracts have found me. Usually before I've finished the current gig (or 2).

    being honest the last few have taken at most hours except when I've been fussy over what I wanted....

    Can't see it changing after this contract as the client is as good as I can get and the CV additions are worthy of an interview if nothing else....

    How Long does it usually take you to find a new contract ?
    Depends if I've got my glasses on and whether I misfiled it under Miscellanous Crap folder or not.
