One of mates contacts to big companies in the city and when his contract expired in May it took him 2 months to find a new one He found that he had to bluff his way in on his CV to get interviews and that worked for him. Up until that point he had fallen out of one contract into another or in some cases been doing 2 at once.

Hopefully you find something soon, what area of IT are you in? Maybe somebody will know of something.

Know how your feeling. I arrived back from honeymoon to no job and was completely broke. Still not working and around here there is no work (I`m a spark). Applying for any old job and they say i`m over qualified!! I sure hope I get something soon or I`m f**ked!
