Working Interview

[norrahe]

it doesn't help when you apply for a perm role and some idiot pimp rings you and asks " you do realise these are permanent roles"

Ah Bless - well he has to earn his hair gel money somehow!

The 'good' thing about applying for permie jobs is that they typically take so long to finalise, with 2, 3 or more stage interviews that there's a chance a contract may turn up before you get to the end of the process!

So nothing to lose edging your bets, except that's one game of chicken I don't relish.

Last downturn I went for one permie interview, quickly realised it was a mistake, and lived off my credit cards for a few months till a contract turned up. Paid off the cards soon after! Fortunately the gamble worked, I could easily have been landed with a big debt, and having to go permie anyway to pay it off, very slowly.

Keep positive, and keep your options open. Even permiedom is only a notice period away from going back to contracting when things improve!
