      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 weeks

        "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.

        "OK thanks, feedback in 48 hours, bye."

        Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

            11am telephone interview (organised yesterday) is a no show.

            This happened to me once before with some American firm.

            Edit : Interviewer delayed apparently. "Please bear with us".

            Over half an hour late...

                  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.
