After 4 contracts with multiple extensions and 3.5 years without gaps, it looks like I'm heading to the bench as of tomorrow. Market is not pretty and I have 2 weeks holiday booked around x-mas so it will be "fun" trying to find something in the coming weeksComment

"Hi Suity, we want a burger flipper. Please could you tell us why you think you would make a good burger flipper."
20 minutes of me waffling on trying to say the right things, with no idea what they are looking for exactly.

11am telephone interview (organised yesterday) is a no show.
This happened to me once before with some American firm.

40 minutes after the scheduled time we got underway with a very sincere apology.
I seem to have passed the first round and will be invited to their head office for a second round interview and technical test some time next week.
Then if successful after that I will have to visit their client in the Bristol area for a third round interview.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment
