Life on the Bench - An unemployed contractors story

Congratulations. A few months on the bench does wonders for your humility. After a few weeks back though, it's back to normal.

I'd be happy to spend a few minutes on the bench with SallyAnne.

Or with anyone really.

Hi Jay,

Wouldn't wan to put you off Oacle Apps stuff - its a cushy number.

I've been being stupidly picky - stopped my CV going into most gigs because of location really.

Had my second interview of the year today and got the job

I've had to settle for a lower rate (£470 a day - lowest in 3 years!!) but I'm sure i'll survive.

At least I'm back off the bench though, and its a bit of new stuf for me too.

Oh, and yes I do all the forms/reports/disco stuff.

yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I mention I got a job today!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done Sally but remember 1 year billing at a lower rate is better then a few months at a high rate.

Good old Warwick - there seems to be loads of work there at the moment! I've been tapped up about 3 jobs in that region over the last week!
