Interview tomorrow

[Pogle]

We do what we have to do - good luck, hope it all goes how you want it to

So what did you say when the interview panel asked why you want to move back to permiedom and will you leg it once the market picks up?

Two questions here.

Firstly play down the "move to permiedom" bit with: "I am a developer/BA/DBA and I have always looked for the opportunity to work on good projects with interesting people... many of my contracts have been long term assignments... on the ground what concerns me is the project, not the specific working arrangements..."

Secondly you should spin the question of leaving when things bounce back to something that suggests: "if this job is as good as you say it is then why would I want to leave?!".

So they are interviewing other more suitable (less contractory) candidates first?

C'mon Stu, update us.

It was postponed again, then the vacancy mysteriously disappeared.

All I've had since are fishing calls, except for today when I spoke to an agent about another permie gig. When I told him my last rate he told me they were offering half what I was previously one and wouldn't be putting me forward because I'd just leave once I found a new contract.

Anyone need a tester?

I was talking to an agent about a role and he said he posted a web testing contract at 12.00 by 2.30 he had 400 CV in his in box. He said the rate was really bad, in fact so bad he was embarrassed to put it on the role.

Asked if he was worried about filling the role, "No someone will take it"

If I do get it, and it does get painful I may have to become diesel Mondeo man

Or you could go sick like the rest of the Permies would!
