Been on the bench long Tony?
What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions! -
Not on the bench - Just thought I'd see how much they were offering.
"Hi Tony,
Thanks for the info and the CV. Yes, you are way above what they are looking for in terms of rate (£25 per hour).
If you would like me to I can keep your CV in case any other suitable role comes in."
Why didn't he just say that they were looking to pay £25 per hour and that would have been that.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

Because he wanted you CV so that he could fish through it for leads and then call your existing company up to ask if he could replace you as you are looking for work, etc
and £25/hour for a PM ??? I don't think a permie PM would work for that sort of money.....Comment

Trainee Project Manager......You will be an MBA or Business Studies Graduate, Sales Representatives or Marketing professional who is looking to gain experience in the project management field in pharmaceuticals (especially inhalation).
It's not a contract/freelance role at all then, they just can't get headcount approval for a permie. Mind you, I'm quite interested in the "inhalation of pharmaceuticals"...
His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

Well done - I wouldn't work for that either.
It struck me when I read the ad that it was more of a permie role - 52 weeks long etc but wnated to know the rate as I know somebody who might be interested in the role, but I wasn't going to tell the pimp that. I would like to know why a marketing person would make a good pharma PM.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
