I leave my CV permanently active on CWjobs, Monster etc.
Always try to stay active and take calls from pimps.
Nothing more irritating than sitting on the bench!!

I don't look for new work until I've finished a contract.
1) saves any hassle over terminating a contract (which I personally think is bad form)
2) saves me from going mad looking at the gigs I could have got if I wasn't currently engaged.
Totaly agree with those who've said "if its at the natural end of the contract anyway then no notice required", but I think thats bad form as well, you should give them as much notice as you can, but if its a case or not renewing you don't have to worry about notice for termination.
Also, even allowing for a lightning-fast turnaround, it'll probably be a week or so between applying, interview, and offer, and most clients can wait up to a week. It's worked for me anyway.

A contract that has an expiry date is just that...no notice is required.
I have never yet had a client come to me a month before I'm due to go to confirm that they won't be renewing...its in the contract, why would they?
I'm leaving my current gig after 3 months there because I have secured a much better offer elsewhere...initially we talked about a 6 month contract but they wanted to test me out so we agreed on 3 months (I prefer shorted contracts anyway)...then they came to me a month ago wanting me to extend but I told them I was going elsewhere...they were disappointed but they had their chance to secure my services for longer at the start...
If they hadn't wanted to extend do you think they'd feel guilty?

I suspect they will be temporary permits, but the whole company is going to India and it's a big, un.
Can't wait for the press to attack them when it goes tits up (>48 hours), as it will be very very public then!

It's entirely the companies problem, If they have had a contractor as a lynch pin in the project for 4 years , and haven't realised that a contractor could leave at any time. If the companies appraoch is to go the outsourcing route, and have not made any contingency plans about contractor's scarpering, then it's entirely thier fault.
You have no continuing business coming from the company, then I would up and go. Knowledge transfers never go well, as long as there is enough documentation, then it is the outsourcing companies problem to get themselves up to speed, they should have included this in thier price.
Every contract has a notice period either way, and can be terminated at the either parties discretion.
You are entitled to discuss rate increase, surely the rate should have increased over the past few years?

Anyway why should I care; it doesn’t apply to me anymore and I’m leaving the country.
