Days -> Weeks -> Months

40 days -> 8 weeks -> 2 months on the bench

Amazing how it soon passes isn't it? Hope it doesn't get to the 'years' marker.

Well and truly absolutely f***ing p***ed f***ing off with this industry. I'm giving it until the end of this week then I'm not wasting my time anymore. Had enough.

I hated being on the bench but the warchest was good for 6 months plus. It is part of contracting I am afraid. Not a common occurance I don't think but certainly one to be expected or planned for as it is going to become more and more common IMO.

AYSYACOTBAC? (tm)

I've been on the bench for about 6 weeks too. Had 2 interviews cancelled and 1 offer withdrawn at the last minute.

Frustrating.

[oliverson]

Yep. I've had one offer evaporate too.

What happened to the good times? Distant memory. 2012 will be the worst year yet. At least in 2008/9 interviews were plentiful.

What is this bench you talk about Captain Kirk?

[sumo]

I feel for you, 6 weeks and two interviews but nothing further. Not a peep.

Only 6 month? Are you sure you're cut out to be a contractor?

More than cut out, hence not needing more than 6 months baby....
