Location?  Since moving to Coventry I've had agencies sending my jobs in
London, Cambridge, Oxford, Nottingham and most of the South West.  In
fact in the past 18 months I've only been sent one job in Coventry and
one each in Redditch, Warwick, Leamington, Leicester and Rugby so it
works out I get about 1 agency every 3 months who can figure out where I
live.  And most of them have been at least slightly tangential to my
CV/objective (the less said about the ASP.NET job the better).

I'm not fussed about working from home but having grown up in the
countryside (one job was a two hour commute each way) I thought moving
to a city would open up short commutes to me - I'm just in the wrong
city for that by the look of it.  I guess if PHP etc. is so much in
demand I can understand recruiters sending jobs from all over the place
but if it's such high demand across the whole country surely I shouldn't
get sent more jobs in Oxfordshire than I do in Warwickshire.
