    e.g. rate = £35,000 to £45,000 per annum.

    not fracking good!

        Yep. Loads of them about. Best are the ones in Newport SW. £150 a day or 30k a year. Laughable.

        Just seen one on jobswerve saying 'client wont wait 4 weeks.
        I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

            It's Desperado City.

            There was a guy on London Bridge this morning giving his CV out. He had a big sign that said:

            'HELP ME. I WANT TO WORK.'

                  Not convinced about that - as a recent agent call testifies -

                  Pimp - "we've been brought in by client to fill a role their current PSL can't fill - looking for PM with years of experience, blah, PRINCE2, blah, can hit ground running, blah, tough project, blah - could pay up to £40K fixed term" The job has been on jobswerve for weeks.

                  Can't get an experienced person for a carp rate? - no tulip sherlock. I had to bite my tongue...

                  Only the desperate would take this role and I bet they would jump ship as soon as something better came along.

                  Even if they forgot about the fixed term bit and just offered a low rate - most Ltd Co contractors would prefer that as they could at least claim expenses, profit from the FRS and save on PAYE and NI through dividends. A fixed term contract is the worst possible option.

                  Al.
