Good morning,

I wanted to contact you regarding your request for information on companies looking for 
Perl Developers at present. I specialise in LAMP, Perl & PHP recruitment and I work 
differently to other recruiters out there in that I have live roles so to speak on my 
desk but I also have the networking advantage of being able to get you out into the 
market place and create opportunities for you. 

I understand you’ll probably want to check me out before we speak please feel free to 
look at my linkedin profile page this will tell you a lot more about my services & my 
approach to recruitment; which is different to other agencies. It will also allow you 
to read some of my testimonials both from Developers like yourself and from Clients I 
work with http://www.linkedin.com/in/susanhailstones 

Please also check out my microsite to learn more about me and my approach 
http://www.people-direct.com/perl

If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to come to me directly and ask.

I am sure you’ll receive many emails regarding that post! So I will leave it up to you 
to come back to me If you are interested in discussing things further.

I wish you the best of luck in your search  :)

Kind regards

Susan Hailstones

I am literally crying with laughter.


In other news, 10am this morning was the official meeting to decide if there was any alternative to being made redundant. I agreed that there wasn't in my opening sentence, established that I'd like the extra money for leaving quietly about two sentences later, made small talk for a while and was home before half past.

So, if anyone hears of any interesting jobs going for developers, please do bring them to my attention, or me to theirs - cheers. I've already got a few good leads but more choice is always a good thing in these circumstances.

Ok, fair point - partly why I work for myself - I don't want high stress levels either (although seem to do long hours anyway, with little result)...
