I would have told them you were available. If the other lot get their act together then you can always cancel the interview. As soon as you said you were in contract your CV will have gone in the bin I'm afraid.Originally posted by pmeswani View PostWell, I had another agency asking if I am available for an interview. I told them frankly that I am in a contract that is currently in limbo and that I will get back to them as soon as I know (before Friday). I have told the consulting / resourcing company that I have been asked to attend another interview and that I need to know where I stand. It may be a bad move on my part, but as it stands, I need to force the issue and either get them to release me from the contract, or get me on site.
If you have an interview and it turns into a gig, don't ask the first lot to cancel the contract, tell them that the indefinite delay to the start date is a breach of the contract and you're terminating it. It shouldn't be a one-sided relationship where they hold all the power.Comment

I usually wear a tie for at least the first week until I feel the coast is clear.Originally posted by MPwannadecentincome View PostI though Tie Rack was closing as people didn't need ties anymore?
At the last contract everyone was dressed so scruffy that I had to stop wearing a tie when the guy who hired me actually started to smarten himself up. The type of office where only the most senior managers normally wear a suit.
