OK normally i charge for this service but for you it's free, but only for today!
Presume you have the experience etc so give these people a ring HERE
They supplied a lot of contractors when i was working in IT in the NHS.

What IT qualifications etc have you got?

 

[Andrew C]

Always plenty to be getting on with whether i have a job or not. Today i've been choosing paint and a couple of new desks for my bedroom. Also seen a fridge i would like to purchase. Oh and then there is a TV i like haha - although i bought a 32"1020p around 2 months back. Think i need to limit myself what to spend! Only way or i'd replace everything and still want something new.. Not one to **** money up the wall, hence i have a little put by.

Waiting back from my local uni. One of my old lecturers may have something for me. Also, i had an interview there last week for a techie role. Had a couple of agencies too on the phone over the past couple of days so it's all good.

Been spending a little time with my parents over the past week or so. Appears i'm Mum's taxi while out of work lol. I don't mind really as i do spend most of my spare time there.

Everybody who gets let go is bound to feel a little deflated mate,
Change is also terrible but try and reassure yourself your good at what you do and the right job will come along soon enough.Then ya won't get a minute to yourself. I live in dublin and they are screaming for techs all the time and check monster job. Iget mails from them at least 6 times a month looking for all sorts.
My advice is dont worry and rest up......maybe you needed a break.

 

[captain zed]
