    Still waiting to hear back on my interview. I know the last interview concluded nearly 24 hrs ago.

    I may be more sensitive to this sit and wait game because the previous interviewer pricked me about for 6 weeks before telling me there was no gig.

    Then again when I've been on the hiring side of the desk I've always wanted to get feedback to the agent asap as I don't like keeping people dangling.

    I don't remember the hiring process being so Kafkaesque in days of yore, and wonder if it's a function of supply outstripping demand and ClientCos feasting on this knowledge with self important glee.
    I hope you hear soon and its good news.

    I remember when hiring process was easy. It was run by personnel rather than HR. Viz was funny. And AndyW was a twinkle in my eye.

      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

        Thanks Bud.

        At 16:49 I would it won't be today. I have no idea why they want to string it out for another 24 hrs. At interview they said they were snowed with work and wanted someone to start asap.
        Confused and frustrated.
        Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

          You're obviously quite new to this Contracting lark.
