    Back In The Game !

    After a tough 3 months getting splinters, looks like I am back in the game, secured a contract today after a face-to-face (formality apparently after aceing the telephone interview).
    Looks like it could be fun, it's an hour away but I can get home which is the main thing.
    Still got to finalise the rate but it feels good to get one boxed off. Looks like it could be a long termer which might be useful in these uncertain times.
    Good luck to all looking !

        Ah, some good news

        I've only been looking over a week and it's early days for me, but have to admit it doesn't look too good out there.

        Well done anyway fella.

            That should be a question at the interview I think.

            I'll find something, I think I've spotted a couple of possiblities anyway.

            My old permie boss phoned last week "fancy coming back we're stacked out with work". I said maybe, my daily rate is... oh no no, permie only he said.

            I'm not that desperate (yet).

              Not had the misfortune to work in Blackpool, had a Sheffield gig I foolishly packed in at New Year.
              Everyone will have there own experience of the market, sometimes you bounce lucky and cant see what the fuss is about. Personally I have found it tough and next time I am out I am definately going to get some certs I need to just keep up with the market.
              Try to keep busy and keep your confidence up, it can all turn round in one phone call and you are back in business.

                  well done luke...

                  and a fine job you've done in keeping that spot on the bench warm, dont forget to replace the cushion for the next one, my renewal is up in a few weeks so i might be needing the spot.

                    Congrats Luke!

                    Time to dust off the biros and shine those shoes. No wait, that's a permie thing.

                    Time to get the dust cover off the porsche and get a new suit tailored.
