Re: Stick it out

clearly i'm not going to tell them about the other interview!

as i said i've only just started contracting, i need project management experience, (i'm a JPM) not the glorified data entry they've got me doing here...

Sheesh! At least data entry is better than trying to look busy when there's nothing to do.

If the rate is good enough (free coffee & preferably a subsidised canteen assumed), then a decent contractor will see the contract out.

Various things I've done on contracts:

Collected the milk from the canteen (tea boy).
Fixed coffee machines (mechanic).
Moved office (removal man).
Fixed broken furniture (furniture delivery man).
Swept up (cleaner).
Run folks to train stations and airports (chauffeur).

Oh yes, nearly forgot to mention:

Data entry (punch card operator, though I never did get the hang of talking about soaps all day long).

Re: Stick it out

Yep, as my illustrious colleagues have mentioned - it can boil down to sh*t- shovelling.

Be very careful about walking out of your first contract - IT contracting is a smaller world than you imagine and if word gets out that you walked without explaining why to the client it could be a while before you get another one...

(I've just binned a CV - the guy had a 'relaxed' attitude to turning up on his last contract and was released early, didn't include that in his CV though!)
