See quite a few crap contracts on jobserve at the moment. Pros and cons of taking short-term crap role?
Advantages as I see it:-
1. Some income is better than zero income.
2. Its better to have something on your CV than a large gap.
3. Might learn new skills?
Disadvantages:-
1. Rate really is crap.
2. It looks strange on your CV that you did something low-level.
Got an offer of a contract. Its about 1/3rd of what I normally charge but:-
1. Its 10 mins from home. (Important at the moment)
2. I get my SC back. (Good for future roles)
3. Its a month rolling so easy to bail if something better comes up. (and I won't mention that I could bail part way because it'll upset NLUK)
