    100 applications, not one call

    Made over 100 JS applications in the past week. Not one call. Not a sausage. Prior to this week I've had calls.

    Is it :

    a) Quiet market with bogus JS ads (it happens)?
    b) CV smells tulipty for some reason?
    c) Your most recent gig was not a BA role, you are applying for BA roles and most agents are too ******* stupid to read beyond the first role?
    d) There is a conspiracy out to get SY01 and the bastards won't rest until he last lost everything including his mind?
    e) It's been a week you turd, calm the **** down and think seriously if you are cut out for contracting?
    f) Contact AndyWs mother, she'll hook you up.

    (Couldn't really be arsed to do a proper poll, and to be fair it's a kind of self indulgent crappy thread so probly doesn't deserve one)..

    Flame away / harangue me on PMs for starting the Kryen sockie or whatever

    [Seriously, the tulip I got for the Kryten sockie nearly made me leave the board. Some delusional types on here that take this board as real life, it's scary]

    Was considering whether or not I would renew my contract if they ask (got a couple of months yet). Had a look at what's on offer on the job boards and decided I'll probably stay put if the opportunity arises.

      There's always lots about. Let me have a look.

      You know what they say about assumptions!

        You can have my job if you want. I'll give you £300 a day. It's for a big company and will look good on your CV. The only downside is that you'll probably have to give a goat a blowjob at some point.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          £300 and a weekly pat on the head, saying the words (exact words mind) "There there, suity's been a good boy, would suity like a treat?" and you're on

                Oh that's nice. Have a look for K2P2, but not for your ole mucka SY01.

                You're a monster (sob)

                    In that case, why not have a word with some of your Masonic mates?
