Who is the client?

Rotterdam? No you misheard me, it's Rotherham. Same thing, right?

Because people knew it was for HSBC

Ah, yes HSBC. Went permie with them for a few months in Sheffield. Left when I was given a 'relative 4' grade.

Muppets.

Can't remember sadly apart from it was for C# work, although it's not exactly unusual for agents to lie about the working location so my memory gets a bit foggy

I know you've worked for this client before, doing this role, but a 10,000 word "why am I a good fit for this role" explanation might be helpful.

Me - sorry I'm in a contract for the next 3 months.
Agent - do you know anyone else with your skillset who is available?

I get this A LOT.

Do you have experience dealing with handling small scale Change Requests and Problem Management tickets?

If you do please can highlight the experience in your CV in red and email it back to me.
