    Another interview today. How long should you keep applying?

    I've got another interview today for another contract.

    I already have one offer, which we are still bandying make and forth but no signed contract and I'm on the shortlist with four others.

    Fairly certain I'll get offered the gig this afternoon as well.

    How long should you carry on before deciding to call it a day?

    If I were you, the first concrete thing that comes along I would just take ........ do that for a while, then steel yourself for battle again once youre rested.

        Until you have a job.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

            Never stop, keep applying for bigger(£) and better roles
            Who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?

              Till you are actually offered one, and want to take it. And get your bum on their seat.

              Edit: no, stingman123 is right:

                never stop. ever. you're in business right? why would you stop looking for work even if in work? and certainly not if you're not in work. even if you have got a "legendary" interview to offer ratio.

                  if you already out of work then keep applying until your first day at new work!
                  if you got other interview's lined up then make sure you take your contract or mention it in the interview use it to negotiate higher and better positions!

                    Always turn down the first 37% of contracts offered.
