Trouble is, I'm awaiting sign-off on another one for a client that is known to me. Sod's law eh? Buses coming along two at once!
On the back of last week's flurry of activity on the same platform, it does give me some renewed hope for the market, and for all those on here that are looking.Originally posted by Cookielove View PostWhen did 8.30 to 5.30 become the working hours?

I've always ignored defined working hours and just worked what's needed. For the most part, my daily rates are for a 'professional working day' without any specific hours stipulated. But then I've been fortunate to not work places where clock watching and micro management is the norm.Comment

It is fine when wfh to flex you hours....but this is an office role so you can't turn up as and when ....that is the minimum set hours for the team...then the commute is a drive of at least an hour so leaving home say 7.30 maybe a little earlier and then getting home on a good run 6.30 at earliest....I think that is along day ...wfh it doesn't matter but if you add in at least 2 hours plus commuting !
Doubt it will come to fruition as so many applying...Comment
