Jeez! Not only are we competeing against outsourcers and on-shorers, we now have to compete against ghosts! Makes sense though, with all those phantom contracts floating around.Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostOpt out, bank details, official secrets act etc etc... Everything but the contract.
I did some work for BT through Hays 6 years ago so I'm starting to think there may be some sort of 'ghost worker' scam going on but no-one told the secretary to keep me out of it.

Still no news on the gig (Monday morning = "In a meeting"). So I'm back to sitting here, in my dressing gown, going through the ads.

Why?Originally posted by Churchill View PostI've got an interview tomorrow and they want me to learn about "Op Amps"!
I learned loads of things when I did Electronics at school, but the one thing that has stuck right near the front of my mind is the word JUGFETs. I have been waiting 30 years for the opportunity to use JUGFETs in a conversation; I suspect that time will never come for me.Last edited by RichardCranium; 17 August 2009, 09:27.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

You're doing the right thing - going thro the ads as usual. Until it's a signed it's always best to view yourself as 'on the market'.Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostStill no news on the gig (Monday morning = "In a meeting").

I think you said you were about 44 which is only a couple of years older than me? I've not worked in the UK for years so how does the fact of being a little bit older play out over here? I've been thinking that by the time I am near 50 will be time to get out? I guess there are older bods here who have not had any problems finding work?Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostStill no news on the gig (Monday morning = "In a meeting").
