Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View PostAnyone got an genius on figuring out the market rates for a particular niche skill?

If I only secure a low rate, I won't be able to get the top contractors apply as they won't be interested. I will, therefore, I be passed the second tier contractors with weak, error strewn, CVs.
If you're not seeing rates increase, ask yourself how slick your CV is? It's the first thing we see as managers. It's your 'marketing'. It's what gets your foot in the door for an interview.

Btw, paying to go on a safari doesn't make you a wildlife warden or master of the Serengeti. Just saying, like...Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.Comment
