Yesterday got the 'almost' final no extention.

Phone interview today

[d000hg]

On the subject of companies advertising directly, do they just post in local papers, or any other journals etc?

[MrMark]

Aaargh!

Is there any way to filter out Billy Jenkins and MA Associates tulip from my search results? Every day for the last few years I've been seeing the same adverts with "very high" rates. Has anyone ever actually got a gig from this muppet?

When I search on Indeed.com there are 100s of vacancies with the Huxley lot. I wonder what happens when they actually have a genuine role to fill - do their candidates take them seriously?

[RichardCranium]

Do they call out the emergency plumber by saying "Hi, I've got a brilliant toilet-unblocking opportunity that'll give you exposure to cutting edge Andrex-retrieval"?

[Shimano105]

I genuinely questioned whether he meant to say £220 - I mean that would be low...

[thunderlizard]

Just had a pimp telling me about a great opportunity in Leeds - C#, SQL yada yada - £120 a day.

Alarm bells ring when they start with say "I've got a great opportunity for you..." What they should be saying is "Can you help me? I need a website building" or whatever.

Just keep applying for it (at least 100 a day), they will take it down sometime.

HTH

I always search for security cleared work and there seem to be plenty of DV cleared roles but not many SC, at a guess there should be at least 10x more SC than DV so I can only assume they're not being advertised as the agents have plenty of takers already on the books.

He's got immediately available contractors that would do that (so why is he calling me then?). No? Would I take £160?

[alreadypacked]

It's honest and for true. Give it another day.

Bump

Looks like you were right, nearly.

Lots of roles turned up late yesterday on Jobserve.
Maybe something was not working on the site, or site feed yesterday.

[RichardCranium]

I know you are only trying to cheer me up, but I don't think so

Have you checked Jobserve yet today?

It went potty about 8pm last night; I wonder if there was a problem at the Jobserve end?

I've seen more gigs this morning so far than I did all day yesterday.

[RichardCranium]

Mondays and Fridays are always quiet on Jobserve.

So are Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays this year.

Jobserve Tuesdays FTW!
