My current contract ends 23rd of this month and I am supposed to be taking 3 months off.
But yesterday afternoon I found myself on jobserve applying for new roles.
I need help

Any suggestions

Put down that you have a middle name of either Chakrabarty, Singh, Patel, or Hossein and increase your chances of popping up in a Rec Con keyword search. Course you will have to accept a max hourly rate of £10, but beggars can't be choosers in this market

I want to take 3 months off, but I keep applying for roles. I justify it by thinking if I don't get it I will take the time off. But that never happens I always get a role.

Double your rate and apply.

If you get the contract. Massively quids in.

If you don't, holiday time!
