    Hi folks, I'm new to contracting and forums so please go easy on me

    I was made redundant back in January 2009. Working in IT for one of the banks.
    Tried to get a job but virtually impossible. Finally got a job through SQCP. First contracting job. SQCP have done an excellent job holding my hand through the whole process. They introduced mt to a great accountant who set me up with a LTD company. Chose not to go down the umbrella route. A number of my friends had initially used umbrellas but are all now set-up with companies.

    There seems lots of useful information on this web site.

      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.

        No.

        And shouldn't you be asking about gladiators or something?

          I've outsourced that line of questioning to everyone else that doesn't have the imagination to come up with their own gags.

                  And aren't you supposed to be sending out party invitations?
                  Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
