In my current gig it took them a week to create a contract, after a verbal offer. Kinda drives you on the edge sometimes, especially when you have other interviews lined up.I am Brad. I do more than the needful and drive the market rates up by not bobbing my head. -
Contract whinge
They are expecting you not to look at it or get it reviewed. They want you to roll over and accept it.
Tell them that you WILL NOT turn up until you've done both.
They'll whinge but they'll also recognise that they've been found out."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

The main thing I can think of that would derail it would be a clause saying I don't get paid if they don't.Comment

I have an interview coming up next week and the agent is desperate to get me in before I have any other interviews (I've been on holiday this week).
No doubt he'll want me to accept before the client has offered me the contract.
I will of course ask for the contract first so that I can review it.
I'm not desperate for this contract."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Originally posted by GB9 View PostI've told them I will need it reviewing and the that it may be done within a day but I needed it first thing this morning at the latest. Totally agree re: not turning up until reviewed and changed if needed.
Plus, if there are changes you want to make, that will take time as well.
Might be worth talking to the client directly to let them know that the agency are messing around.Comment
