    IMO any client that is going to get picky over 2+ month gaps in your CV is probably a stinker. File in the same category as the dreaded double interviewers.
    If a pimp is halfway decent they won't question small gaps such as a couple of months.

    The amounting of faffing I've had to put up with from clientcos to get stuff signed off or to arrange interviews, it does take time, so you can often waste a few weeks getting a decision out of people.

        I've just revamped my CV on jobserve to do exactly that - ta!
