been out of work for 6 months isnt great or easy. anyway, I finally got a contract and it is for 2.5 weeks, which is almost up however there is a good chance for extension.
in the mean time, I had another offer put on the table to start on Tuesday after my first contract finishes which is great as this rarely happens however the agency/end client has been stubborn and wanted me to finish my contract yesterday to start today as they need someone "urgent" and didnt realise they wanted someone that quick.... its funny how it works in today's economic climate where clients take now FOREVER to come to a decision... talking weeks for feedback. But anyway.....
The agency has been pushy over the phone and wanted me to take the contract even though it is lower pay than the pay I am on now but squeezed it up to what I am earning now (a couple of quid short though)
fair enough, however since nothing has been signed in terms of documents and even though I accepted the contract (without choice), where do I stand of backing out? of course they would go nuts over the phone but then again... she cornered me and the client messed around saying initially they wanted to interview me, then they wanted me to come straight in without interview.... then they said they wanna interview me.
so... im confused and no idea what to do.
if I get an extension, I would rather take it as its better pay and would establish trust/long term relations with the client where as the other one is lower pay and is up to 3 months
what should i do?
Cheers,
