What is the UK IT Contracting market like for Lotus Admins?

Question

I am thinking of ditching my crappy employer and going contracting. Any idea what the contract market is like for a qualified Lotus Notes Admin in the Thames Valley/London area?

Answer 1

Are there any contractors where you work ?  Ask them for a name and contact for an agency.  Then ring the agent and ask them.  Don't give too much away as they will call your boss and tell him you are leaving and they can get him a replacement.  They will also tell you there are dozens of jobs out there.  Don't believe that, get them to give you names of companies looking and wait until you have had a couple of interviews before quitting your present job.

Been there, done that, then went back to permie.  I couldn't be bothered with all the agro of dealing with the con artists who call themselves Agents.
