    Hi!

    Hello,

    I am new here.

    I am curious to know, because I've been out of work for bloody ages. Are you guys working on contracts or not?

    The market seems carp at the moment. Even after intervews no job!

    "It's Hell out there, chaps. Damned Hell."

    How many have you applied for?

    How many interviews have you had?

    (And, therefore, what is your application / interview ratio?)

    What sort of thing are you looking for?

    Are you restricting yourself by rate / region?

    What is your gig-seeking strategy?


    Answering those will provide you with some insight and us with a chance of helping.

      When you've done all that, I'll have a few questions for you.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        I was just going to post that there's a question or two missing from that lot.
        Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

              And this is how we can tell:

              a) you're not a sockpuppet;
              b) you still haven't been here long.

              You have a long, long way to fall, then recover, before you can start to compete with some of the scarred weirdos on here.

                  Always. But especially on a Sunday lunch time.

                    The September Surge has been a bit limp so far. By all accounts in fact the market is as limp as a dead dog that has been shot and left in a ditch. So yes, the market is crap.
