to assume you don't get a contract extension

[AteRiri]

if you have been told they'd renew you, but it depends on the budget. Then you didn't hear anything for almost two months. You finally emailed to ask and no response?

Can you speak to someone rather than email?

Yeah but I will be back in two weeks (on leave). I guess it's my fault for leaving it for so long.

^^ what Karmin said.

But yes you should get your CV updated and get in touch with agencies.
