Good Luck Martin, I may have to join the Perm train soon too.

Keep in touch, mail me and tell me what it is like, it is always good to know what the countries and projects are like.



Actually it would make a good Forum "Countries and Projects and the Planners comments and opinion on them. That would serve to protect the planners from been coned into bad locations and projects.



Any Planners comments?

I will hang in there and if perm is the way forward at the moment then so be it. I could do with some free training but one thing that gets me is that the companies feel safer if your perm.

Why is that? surely a contractor who is happy would go on for years, a permie always wants a bit more or a grade higher etc....



well perm here we go, either that or a different market....

The new fashion now because they say there is such a big unemployment and so many Planners available, is to offer so called "Permanent or salaried" employment. That is fine take it and when the market picks up they will be crying when all their employees scramble for better paid jobs. So my advice is bite the bullet and hang in there - it will pick up.
