I'm coming to the end of a 6 month contract and its been a brilliant learning curve, just a bit worried as new opportunities seem to be a little thin on the ground at the mo.
Just wondering how others have got on ....

Throw your net as far and wide as U can using both agencies and other ways to establish your name e.g. attend business fairs, the local round table, HR group meetings etc. and have personal cards printed and sensibly distribute them as often as possible and use every meeting with somebody U know/do not know to press your good qualities and job wants

Treat getting a H&S job as a full time occupation [I repeat;- treat getting a H&S job as a full time occupation] whilst earning money elsewhere if u can especially in these very very hard times

best of luck
