Have heard this a few times from recruiters: "1-10, how good are you at XYZ tech?"

What do you answer? I feel like there's really no choice but to say 6-7 if you want to say generally competent. Any lower, never getting past that screen. Any higher, you're gonna fail the later interview because of some obscure factoid

I go with 6 or 7 and then I say but on topic X, I'm a 9-10 and I've implemented Y and Z. Be specific with your expertise.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
