I was made redundant last spring, got a new job and certain things were said but not honoured. I am now looking at current job as temping and when asked why i am leaving i am honest and say that it is a temping role, not what i want to do long term. It is different to what i was doing and what i am looking for.
My only concern is that whilst it is a long term role, it is not using my skills so i might be seen to be rusty if i don’t move soon 🙁 another black mark.
Feedback tends to be good, i just lack something, this job i was told someone else had a little stronger sql skills, before that i lost out to someone from a financial services background (my background is manufacturing), prior to that my lack of experience writing reports.
I guess part of the problem is lots of candidates and not a lot of jobs to go round. Employers can be a little pickier. So rather than taking someone with one weakness and train, they find someone with all the skills.
What i am also noticing is that jobs seem to be drying up a little, i guess Christmas effect.
