I'm in a long-ish term contract at the moment. So I am stable until December then it is time to hit the recruitment trail again.
I came over with no job but enough money to live on for 5 months, took two months of and then did a short term contract and then landed the gig where I am now.
The market is picking up - it was really really slow about 3 months ago, it is still down, but there's work to be had if you're good at what you do.
You will most likely end up having to use a recruiter simply because that is how most employers work due to the volume of applications. For example I applied for a position at BBC, which (thankfully) I did not get, but the guy I was working with said that his office alone received over 350 applications for that one position.
That's the web/interaction design field I'm talking about.
Also if you wnat some straigh answers, you can call the border agency people - they are quite nice and always have names like nigel or simon.
