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.

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.
    • But we can train them to kill the foreign invaders, green sqwaky things, and the rats with feathers 
    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
