    Really?

    You can give up constructive anything with that smart-arse strategy.

    Oi Admin, can we have a throwing toys out of pram "smiley"?

    You're obviously a sockie because no-one is that dumb, apart from MarillionFan but he's our care-in-the-community project.

    I am certainly not crap on the Mobile stuff, even passed a tough boot camp exam on it. I just have not got many approaches about it from my CV. Perhaps I need to redo my CV.

    As from my limited knowledge, the contractors I have worked with , were very friendly and willing to share knowledge (both ways). That is the experience of my friends in the industry, who have also ended up contracting. Not one of my mates said they would ever go back to permanent. I know I am fairly new to this, so may well meet some back stabbers etc along the way.

    OP, look what the market is doing and make your decisions based on what you think is going to happen.

    If you've been involved with telcos on the 2G, 3G stuff I would think it would be too hard to find your next contract.

    Samsung, Motorola and Nokia are all looking for contractors, so you're either crap or just not looking in the right places.

    As for Contractors looking after each other, what do you think it is, the Masons?
