    Excellent. Put forward. Now next to get an interview.

    I'm actually hoping to get this gig, which pays £225 per day less than another I'm forward for, but one is 20 minutes away versus a minimum 3 hour per day round trip in London & loads of managing people.

    Money no longer a driver.

      Good luck.

      With reports elsewhere on here of hundreds applying for each role I too am thinking money is no longer a driver, and quality of life is. Time to do something else.

      So thinking of setting up an agency website full of fake job and contract opportunities and charge the applicants a fiver to jump the queue. Only new plazzy fivers with those serial numbers that mugs will pay hundreds for on ebay of course.

      I won't even require 2 references to get ahead of the competition.
      Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

        In unrelated news, a park bench was seen smiling with relief this morning.
