Setting your location as London doesn't help.

PM the client. If its the one I think it is your agents are tulip beyond tulip.

Seems like the recession has resulted in all the decent resource going to ground or staying put in their existing contracts a lot longer than they would previously. At this rate I'll be doing change management, data conversion, PM and functional consultant on my own

I've managed to get 3 offers out in the last two days. Two contractors and one permie. And I have another perm starting next week!

Three more left to go...
