I made it to and from the school without getting wet

Got contacted direct about a BA gig should I want it.

I don't really consider myself officially benched till next month as I'm still due two lots of invoices and Feb will be the first non invoice month.

Thing is I do PM, I'm not exactly desperate and the job will be dull and from the sound of it politically messy (even as a contractor I will not get away from it). From what I know about the role it could be very volatile from the point of view that it could all go Pete Tong and I'm back on the bench again.

I'm waiting to hear about two other roles but I have a sneaking suspicion that these won't materialise.

I may just grit my teeth and hang on.

How long is this gig for? If it does go tits up you'll get a few months money out of it and be back where you were, on the bench, no different to where you are now.

You can always stall for time while you wait to hear about the other two. Get the contract paper work checked by your legal advisor etc...

Hurrah.

Lovely sunny afternoon here in Swansea.

Most unusual.

I'm not sure I want to go back down the ladder, and have to do a job i hate (again).

I'll also end up doing silly hours, which is not what I want on top of a 4 hour commute.

I spent a year doing a tulipe gig last year and even when they offered me a six month extension, I'd really had enough.

I think I'll sit this one out.

What's the best way to find someones email address ?

I have the domain but don't know the format - could be
x.y@abc.com

or xy@abc.com

See if there are any email addresses on the web site in the x.y (or other) format. I've found larger organisations use this (so do smaller ones, but less frequently).
The most common format for small orgs(in my experience) is <firstname initial><surname>

Pile in lads and tell me I'm talking bollox

Good plan. You deserve a break anyway. You could apply for this and get it, then next week a really good one comes along.

Further to the telephone interview with FiveTimes regarding the developer role we are not going to progress further with his application.

FiveTimes came across very professional over the phone we found that FiveTimes has had a lot of support in his previous roles as he worked as part of large teams whereas in xxx we would be looking for someone who is proactive and would have the ability and experience to work on their own. We carried out a few telephone interviews yesterday and has decided to progress with 2 other candidates who he felt were a better fir for this role.


Looks like my gut feeling were right

Ah bollocks. Keep calm and carry on

I don't even need to apply for this, it's the one my ex-BA mentioned to me on Wed.
