Two weeks is good then. Is this even less for a lapsed SC or doesnt it matter?
Ok. £64,000 question. ALL the agents have got this idea in their head that up until 12 months you're ok, after that, you've had it. Your telling us that this is not correct and that the 12 month thing is irrelevant? Have I got that right?
OK. So how to pitch it to an agent if your SC was last used more than 12 months ago? Is it even worth mentioning on your CV in the hope it can be resurrected? Or failing that, how to convince agents that you've been SC before and it only takes 2 weeks now?
Surely, if it now only takes 2 weeks, then agents/clients may be better off looking for the best candidate. Appreciate that people fail SC but surely someone previously SC a few years ago has a more than decent chance of passing again? But I know, agents/clients have got in their head that they want someone NOW and won't wait 2 weeks - although most contracts I've ever done have pretty much always had to wait while contract is sorted.
Never ceases to amaze me though how clients can take a week to get back after feedback submission, another week after interview, and then still want the candidate to start TOMORROW because its urgent.
