1 phone -2 years

1 recommendation - 6 mnths
1 face to face - 18 mnths
1 recommendation - 9 mnths
1 face to face - 15 mnths and counting

The ones I can remember:

1 - Phone interview, five month contract
1 - Phone interview, six month contract
2 - Phone interviews, offered both jobs, took one, one month contract
1 - Phone interview, six month contract
1 - Face to face interview, six months contract so far

The more interesting statistic would be how many roles people applied for before getting the interviews.

When I was looking for the first contract, I had a face to face interview, which I didn't get the role for (too expensive / other candidate too cheap), then a phone interview for the wrong role, then got the role after the next phone interview.

Since then, I think I've got every role I've interviewed for.

hmm *thinks*

1 = 2 years,
1 = 1.5 years (actually was 3 over 2 day period and all were offered contract)
1 = 1 year
1 = 1 year (really had two but both offered a contract)
0 = 1 Year (Old client)
3 = 2 Years (First i was really bummed about because was perfect fit, great rate and would have got me back into financials, second was agency/client screwing me around as contract had already been filled day before and they were using me as a fall back)
2 = 2.2 years (first one was totally inapropriate contract)

Think missing one in that list but tbh memory is getting fuzzy in my old age

Only 1 per gig - split evenly between phone and face 2 face. Any more than 1 seems a bit permieish to me...

[Moscow Mule]

0 application, 0 interview; (back to old permie place after travelling - asked to come back)
0, 0; (ditto)
0, 0; (Kept on - different department)

0, 0; (Recommendation)

I've turned down work recently as I wasn't interested in working abroad.
