Hi,
Need some advice.
I just finished a contract tail end of October, I got an interview lined up the following week, I passed the interview and agency congratulated me on the contract, he said it would take 2-3 weeks to sort out the paperwork.
As it was a Bank, I would have undergo an exhaustive background screening process, I gave them everything they wanted (degree, certifications, 7 year references). I was told by the agency I passed the screening process, now just waiting for the paperwork from the bank. I was given an initial start date of tail end of November. It didn't happen. 5 weeks after interview, no contract, no start date.
Agency have said they don't know why its taking so long. They have now told me that I should start looking for other roles in case this doesn't go ahead!
I find this really appalling, I spent the whole of November not pursuing other roles as I thought this contract was going ahead. Both the agency and client are big. Now with it coming into Christmas and going into New Year, roles are going to be thin on the ground. As a result, I'm going to be taking quite a big financial hit for being out of work.
