Longest Bench Time???

[OwlHoot]

... it always takes 4-6 weeks between contracts, always has done.

shortest bench period (excluding extensions) 1 week
longest 3 months.

Glad I'm not the only one.

There always seems to be a two-week period after starting applying before anything much happens, the recruitment equivalent of turning an oil tanker (and after starting a contract there's a corresponding two or three week lag before one can persuade the pimps to *stop* calling!)

Shortest bench period: 0 days (left one contract friday, started next monday - If only they were all as seamless)

Longest: 3 months in 2002

2 months (years back...)

<looks in fridge...>

An out-of date carton of orange juice and a bottle of flat coke!

We can't do a house-warming on that!

Anything decent? If that's Peroni, chuck one over.

Hang about, do I smell a party staring?

Get me a bit squiffy and I'll go over and chat him up.

5 months out of mainstream contract..

Although I had some consultancy work in-between all that, and also walked out of a new contract 2 months into bench time on day #1 for being mis-sold the job by the client/agency (sorry I'm there to do the job I came for, not spend a week inputting data because you're too fat and lazy to do your own work).

So technically 3 months I guess...

RH : this is a newbie. your attitude is very poor. why not lure them in gently with a game of twister or something?
