Being asked to help recruit for my replacement!

[MrHelpful]

Update - had the call and it was kept with the suggestion ... interest has been registered and when the climate is better he said he'll be in touch. I think he is aware of the FTEs reading in between the line and I will now go by Churchills quote - never, never, never give up.

Seeing some of the team soon for my first leaving/xmas do... and a few presentations on how to do stuff/what they should look to do in future.

Well done, and good luck!

Merry Xmas all...

Just thought I'd give a snippet update. I have one more week to go and thats it... sad to leave but its the life of a contractor and I think this may be a good thing in a roundabout way.

Any advice on the job search in the new year as always appreciated. I will be looking from Feb onwards - Jan is holiday month I have updated my cv but not sure on what is classed as good or bad! without publically humilaiting myself.

Merry Christmas MrHelpful

Good luck in the New Year.

Update guys... I got a 3 month extension - extended handover. Now I am in the predicament do I still continue with a complete brain dump / document my knowledge and hand hold my replacement (who is not the quickest of the mark) through as well as let him take over my team (where he only cares about himself)....

Keep calm, and complete the question you are asking:
"do I still continue ... OR do I xxxxxxx"

What is xxxxxxx that you might do instead of continuing? How does xxxxxxx further your aims as a contractor? What is the expected income for the next 3 months of doing xxxxxxx instead of continuing?

Are the answers perhaps "walk out now", "it doesn't but I'm annoyed", and "zero"?

With all due respect... your replying to a post which was from last quarter I would read the most recent!

I do have a question though - if I had the name of the head of recruitment at the org should I mail him or leave it to my ex gaffa to get in touch IF they want me back in a couple of months time??
