Whereabouts in the country are you mrjam?

Only reason I ask is the company I work for has numerous roles available for your line of work.

I'd be happy to look at your CV if that would help - is you want to pm me your personal email address.

I am a HR professional with over 20 years experience and in the same boat as you - was only in a permanent role 9mths before they decided to make me redundant. It does suck but you need to have a plan and a belief that things will get better.

I am also starting to explore working for myself/as a contractor and I now it is tough but sounds as though you have done it before ? What did you do then that made you successful & marketable ? Are your charges too high - the days when contractors earned in the 1000s per day are gone you need to be comparable in your marketplace.

Couple of immediate thoughts:
Are you a member on Linkedin ?
Have you registered on People per Hour.com where you can advertise your services. Even if you get an hourly rate it adds up?
Have you registered with any agencies specialising in your field - in this day and age often the recruiters rarely get to see the CV's.

Good luck !

It won't help with the job situation, but is your property one where you could take in a lodger to give some more income?

As well as this maybe either look at your outgoings OR post an soa on the debt free free board to see where you can get down on.

Good luck with the job search.
