    B & E. E - The role required DV clearance (see my post to your other thread). Was not prepared to go through the process. Meant having to drag my parents through it. The place was ok to work in, the role was ok. Should have taken it in hindsight (sp?) and dragged my family through it for the sake of it. The role would have lasted me a few years.
    If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

          E - I've been in line for a few gigs when I've been asked if I'd consider going permanent some time in the future. I always give the same answer; no.
