This gig should redress the balance. Every time we get the project sorted they go and change their business model and have a massive restructure.

People look at my CV and say to me "Ooh, you've had a lot of jobs, haven't you?".

Ten contracts since October 1995.

When interviewing for the penultimate gig the comment was that I hadn't been in a role for more than 6 months since going contracting.

Either way more work is always good so congrats..

The latter

I love the directness, keep it up.

Not including other assignments from local customers. Local marketing and networking is proving quite fruitful too.

What number contract are you on?
