      More CV harvesting from pimps who I thought were better than that - or they claim to be!

      Yes, looking at you Venturi.

      He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

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

        Sellout to your clan

        Do the contract simultaneously

          If it had been a six month contract, it might have been more tempting but by the time they spelt out the full perm package, it became far more appealing.
          The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

            Congrats.
            Did you have any bench time or is this back to back with your recent contract/gig?

            Well done, considering the current market.

              I wouldn't be surprised if hiring managers are taking bets on how low can it go.

                Venturi have wasted a lot of my time and I've never got anything out of them.

                  IntecSelect are one other absolute ‘waste of space, and liars” bunch.
                  Never ever touching them even with a barge pole in future.

                    Money isnt the only gripe at the mo. Companies and agencies are treating candidates like dirt.

                    I hear alot of people saying that Covid is a great excuse for a CV gap, but as ridiculous as it is, many hiring managers I have come across have looked down on the CV gap. They dont give a toss.

                      It's a problem when you're applying through the normal channels and they;re looking for a simple way to bin 80 our 100 CVs.
