Glad thats done, now for the waiting.

[Scrag Meister]

Just had a telephone interview, went ok, well I thought so .

Now for the pain in the @55 wait for the feedback or second round interview request.

Will keep ya posted.

[cojak]

Good Luck...

[Scrag Meister]

Well what do ya know!

Mentioned to my immediate manager that I was looking elsewhere after 3 years and low work load etc..

About an hour later his boss comes and sees me and says that the current plan is to keep me on past the 3 year limit, prob for 6 months til end of November.

Nice to know I have that option, if nothing else materialises.

What 3 year limit? Who's limit is this and why do they think there is a limit?

He waits.

That's what he does.

Tick follows tock follows tick.

Here's to you, Ahab.

My current client has a relatively strict 3 year limit on contractor stays, then most of the time it is go perm or leave.

Same here except mine was face to face, I thought it went quite well but the longer I wait the more the doubts creep in.

5 years ago I'd have popped into Sainbury's for champagne on the way home, these days they interview 10 people for 1x 3 month contract and all the candidates are going to be good quality from a 50+ CV sift.

It's almost like the clients are having their revenge for the times when they were lucky to get 2 or 3 CV's and an interview was a formality just to check you were human.

WHS!

Had an interview today where the TM and STA didnt really seem to know what they wanted. Im not hopeful for this role one jot. Fortunately, I'd only got home about an hour after returning when another agent contacted me and said would I go to such and such for an interview? I nearly let it slip I'd just got back from there but caught myself just in time.

So, tomorrow, I return for another interview. Hope they know what they are looking for this time!

Wish me luck and keep looking folks. You wont get anything if you give up.

I dont get it, why dip your toe in this particularly murky job market when you have the option to stay tucked up for the next 6 months? Makes no sense to me.

Well, he says that it's a good fall-back.

After 3 years on the same contract, I'd probably be suicidal and wanting a change. If there is a 6 month contract on offer elsewhere, I'd jump to it.
