Time on the bench

[quackhandle]

Maybe it's time to turn the tables somewhat and start applying for roles not in my field just to wind up the pimps.

See how far I can blag it as it has never stopped them with fake roles etc.

Could maybe get 1/2 months out of it?

You dont do this already!?

When the market is carp like now, I sometimes apply for anything just to get my cv in front of someone.

I especially like sending my cv where the adverts says 'If you dont have the listed skills, please do not apply for this role.'

Oh, ok then

I once went for an interview where there was a long list of desired skills. I had about half of them. Went to the interview where humiliatingly they gave me an in depth test on skill I had claimed to have but had only really used a bit. TBH, if I knew it was mainly just that they needed I would have brushed up and been fine.

I came out feeling bruised, battered and somehow ashamed that I had been revealed as a chancer.

They offered me the job.

Well, face to face interview secured for later this week in one of my favourite locations. Fingers crossed.

6 months in the winter of 2009, when there were no contracts in my area at all. Nothing. Not even fake ones.

That got a bit uncomfortable towards the end, I should have chilled out more as I wasn't worried about the money.

Lesson learned for next time - I'll spend more time in the garden if and when it happens again.

After 6 months I was chilling out and not worrying. Now I've been on the bench for almost a year, and it's starting to get more than a bit uncomfortable. It's not the cash, it's the gaping chasm on my CV.

Impending Disaster: Out of a Contract for Nearly a Year.

I've been on the bench for almost a year, and it's starting to get more than a bit uncomfortable. It's not the cash, it's the gaping chasm on my CV.

At this point I'd strongly advise you to take any position at any rate just to reset the clock.
