Originally posted by SandyD View PostOh if you include the contract in your CV (I recommend that) then you need to come up with a very good excuse why it lasted only 2 months e.g. too much travel, project downsized or cancelled etc
Why construct an excuse when the truth will be fine?Comment

In my last two contracts they also contacted they went through every previous employment with the through details, plus contacted my university to confirm my qualifications (completed 1999 ) , also verified my prince 2 certification !!!Comment

Originally posted by SandyD View PostThis is not correct NL .... within the banking sector they would definitely contact the agency and verify employment dates and role title. In the recent couple of years the verification of qualifications and recent history has become very tight (I suppose due to all the new regulatory/ anti fraud rules)

Personally I would say there was budget issues and it was last in first out.
Never be rude about them - it will end badly.
The agency should only confirm dates.
I was miffed when leaving my permanent job in May this year as they put my reason for leaving as resignation. They should not have done that. However, best not to make a fuss.Comment

The clue is in the name: CONTRACTor
Everyone has a start date and an end date. If some are that short, omit from CV and expand others.
Good Luck, we're all counting on you.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
