If I put in project, or analyst.. there's a fair few jobs out there. I've started looking further afield than my home city, so the searching can take a bit of time. If I just stick to within +30 miles of my postcode it takes 2 mins.

Does a jobserve search take you that long?Originally posted by chris79 View PostGood point. I'll use my mspaint.exe skills later tonight when I find a free 5 mins off jobserve.
I find I can pull up all the perl and PHP contracts, one or two a day if I'm lucky, and apply, in ten minutes flat.
One agent I spoke to reckons the market will be as dead as a dodo until feb, at which time he reckons it will probably pick up.

I've updated my avatar and signature to reflect my current 'benched' situation. On a lighter note I got a nice letter today to say I passed my PRINCE2 practitioner.
Also my brother sent me this, installed and been using it today, pretty good! You can listen to just about any song you want for free (with a short radio advert in between every 30 mins or so)..
