Well there you go then, perhaps they used to be called something else. The only other folk I used to know around Newport were Newport Waferfab (used to be INMOS), Alcan (now closed) and a telecoms manufacturer that I can't remember what they were called, perhaps they're now called EADS. LG ripped the government off by promising big new government subsidised factories in Newport then the Asian crisis happened and the factories never got built.

EADS are in Newport.

People must be taking them. Got one this morning asking for an "experienced" SQL Server Developer with Datawarehousing experience £26K a year!!

Not convinced about that - as a recent agent call testifies -

Pimp - "we've been brought in by client to fill a role their current PSL can't fill - looking for PM with years of experience, blah, PRINCE2, blah, can hit ground running, blah, tough project, blah - could pay up to £40K fixed term" The job has been on jobswerve for weeks.

Can't get an experienced person for a carp rate? - no tulip sherlock. I had to bite my tongue...

Only the desperate would take this role and I bet they would jump ship as soon as something better came along.

Even if they forgot about the fixed term bit and just offered a low rate - most Ltd Co contractors would prefer that as they could at least claim expenses, profit from the FRS and save on PAYE and NI through dividends. A fixed term contract is the worst possible option.

It's Desperado City.

There was a guy on London Bridge this morning giving his CV out. He had a big sign that said:

'HELP ME. I WANT TO WORK.'

Yep. Loads of them about. Best are the ones in Newport SW. £150 a day or 30k a year. Laughable.

Just seen one on jobswerve saying 'client wont wait 4 weeks.

An Indian will do it for that.

I'm starting to see more and more fixed term contracts being advertised with a permie salary
e.g. rate = £35,000 to £45,000 per annum.

not fracking good!
