Hi all,


I was just wondering what people experiences are of the current job market. I am doing a permanent job, that seems secure but I am thinking of going part time to take up a temporary contract to gain more experience. There is no guarantee of work with the temporary contract. What shall I do? Please advise in light of the current job market. Would most people take the risk or stick and park them selves in a job. The job itself its great and wont lead to career progression but its a relatively safe job. Or do I just take up the temping work which could or could not lead to better employment?? Times are really tough and I just cant make that decision. Please share your experiences and advice.

I'd hang on in there until the overall job market improves.


Even if the current job feels stultifying there are ways to improve.


Talk to the HR dept and ask about training courses, volunteer to assist someone else in their project, look around and see if your job, the office, the factory or whatever could "do things better" - then suggest a way to do that. Even if none of these result in better pay - they'll make life more interesting, burnish your CV and help you while away time till it all gets better.

Marmora Man speaks the truth - look at ways to make what you do better along with your cv while staying in a permanent role. You ask for people to share experiences? Not mine but a friend resigned a perm role for a 'better' temp one. Three months later no job, no income, and a mortgage needs paying. Leaving a perm role voluntarily doesn't help when trying to claim benefits should you need to btw.


Like Alan Medic says if you do move go to another permanent role, nothing to stop that.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
