"Please can you just take our online test..?" Er, no, f-u-c-k off. Next.

Just tell them , "I'll get my Butler to do it."

Since last Thursday, in fact. First time in 2 years.

Picked up some good skills in my last role (WPF, MVC4, WF etc) but I have to say the world ain't exactly beating a path to my door. Just lots of calls about permie roles.

still, it's early days & plenty of opportunity to do all those DIY tasks I've neglected for the past 2 years.

Anyone else finding the market slow?

Yep, same here. Can't even get any direct contracts with clients. Had an interesting chat with an agent. He said clients are wasting his time by asking for CVs when they have no intention of taking on contractors until the new year.
