An hour's notice, no job or person spec just "Turn up".Originally posted by Moose423956 View PostThat's a relief. How did it go?
It lasted over an hour and consisted of talking about snow, traffic, heating systems, the job (I was being pushy and insisted on bringing it up), home broadband, PC World, coffee, office windows (that is neither an operating system nor a suite of applications) and more snow.
So I think it went well.
After all, it is important when on the bench to make the effort to get washed, dressed and out of the house once in a while, and it achieved that function!
And sometimes the recruiter wants someone they can get on with and I thin we covered that ground very well.

I meant the client.Originally posted by Moose423956 View PostThe recruiter being the agent or the client?
Ambiguity always abounds in these discussions. We need some more terminology, perhaps.
There's:
MyCo
ClientCo (plus OldClientCo and NewClientCo)
pimp
What is the client called?Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
