I see what you’re saying about saying NO to the poor rates and keep shopping around but if that’s all that is on offer what option do people have when most need to work (being honest not many can choose not to work indefinitely).
J-Mac…. Nobody is suggesting that people turn jobs down indefinitely and don’t work at all. If you turn just one job down (as you did) and take another that pays a little more, and every one did that, then rates would have to improve.
….if that’s all that is on offer what option do people have
If you are working agency there is rarely ever just one job on offer unless you are low on experience. If that’s the case you should not be working agency in the first place as you are playing right into the industry’s hands.
hopefully all the jobs I get from now on are on the rate of this 1st job.
Hopefully???
That’s all you have in the UK at least… Hope and luck.
The rest is down to the operators and agencies as it is they that call the shots on rates in this game at present.
