I work exclusively through agencies due to my Institute's rules and the recruiters get very grumpy when clients insist on no notice from their side but assume they can impose a week from me. Getting told at 5pm (yes, they made sure they did not tell me until the very end of the day) that the project was being wound up early and I was no longer required as of right now was mildly irritating to say the least. You have my sympathies Daz and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that something just right will pop up soon for you.

My contract in Perth was supposed to be for 3 months but after 6 weeks the work was completed and our group were all given one weeks notice, losing a months fees. I complained to the agency but was basically told Tough. The reason I complained was that that was my first contract after a year of no work.

Turned out alright though because 3 weeks later I got a better contract that lasted 18 months.

Wow yeah that is incredibly rude waiting till 5pm. My company made sure the letters all arrived on Saturday. Good luck to you too. Hope you're not feeling too rough today

The construction industry always quietens down at Christmas unfortunately. People would rather start a contract in the new year
