As someone who is just completing a unit called job development and placement it depends on the approach that recruitment companies take. A person centred approach places responsibility on the job seeker and the recruiter assists where needed. Job seeking is seen more in terms of career development as opposed to just getting a person a job. In saying that, if you have already said hey, I need some more help for job leads then they should be providing you more assistance.
My fingers are crossed that something comes up for you soon. Contract work can be very unpredictable so who knows, they have even extend it at the every last minute.
Isn’t that interesting! I never really knew that. I’ve definitely made it clear that I need all the help I can get. I’m really struggling with just how difficult it’s been to be honest.
I’d love to have this contract extended, I love working there. They extended me by 2 weeks the last time. 2 weeks just whizzed by and the whole time I’m stressing about what next… it’s tough!
I think one of the issues is that contract work often out numbers the permanent employed options available which leads to financial insecurity. I have a friend who is an IT contractor and he said that the number of contractors used now compared to when he started contracting was much higher. This makes it harder for people to gain permanent employment.
Financial security is related to mental heal. People need to know that they can cover the basic costs of living and support their children.
I believe you will get the job you're supposed to and that you're building great resilience in the process :).
I know this is probably the last thing you want to hear right now, but hang in there mate and keep finding ways to tame that anxiety.
I'm always up for some encouragement, Benny! Doing my best to just keep moving :)
