    Probably not chase them up as I already agreed to a paltry rate rise.
    My client was looking for Java wonks, and made several offers, but in each case the person turned down the offer the day before they were due to start as they had had an interview the day before, and an offer later in the day which they tool. So I'm trying for a modest rise come the current extension.

    No probs, but all in London 'm afraid, and I mean it sounds good, but from experience I have to be put forward for about 30 roles before I get feedback from the agent that the client is slightly interested. From about 50 roles I get a technical test, which I can't answer anyway.

    But still......better than last year

    Depends what role you are looking for. I hear there are tons of Santa jobs going at the moment but these tend to drop off towards the new year.
