Contracting – An Update
Comments (0) Originally, when I was first starting this post, I had intended it to be an update of how well my transition into the world of contracting has gone.
Unfortunately, I have now experienced the downside of being a contractor.
It is now 9 months since I became a contractor, and I have been enjoying every minute of it. That was until last Friday, when I was told that my contract was up. The situation had been uncertain since before Christmas when we were told that there would be a 20% reduction in workforce globally across the company.
Some sites have been worse hit than others, and it was just unfortunate that I was one of the last contractors to be brought into the company. So therefore, I was one of the first out. The relationship with the client has been good, and they have left the door open to return there in the future should the situation improve in the automotive industry.
I suppose that you have to take the rough with the smooth in the contracting world.
At the moment I am getting my CV out to recruitment agencies and contacting other companies. There appears to be a variety of positions available, I just hope that something bites.
If anyone knows of a company requiring the services of a CAD designer with experience in CATIA V5, SDRC I-DEAS then ask them to get in touch with me.
I’ll keep you updated over the coming days about my progress.
