Hello, room for another?

[quackhandle]

Just thought I'd come and join you all on the "bench" since I have been lurking for a wee while - some great threads on here, mostly about agencies trying it on with rates and references, etc. Whilst reading them I've thought "they tried that with me!" Finished last contract in mid Feb so fingers crossed I'm not on the bench as long as last year (7months).

Apologies if I've not put this thread in the correct area.

Anyway hello all.

Before joining, I'd like you to give us two references from previous employers...

Morning and welcome to a fellow benchee.

Just make sure that you polish it often and keep it tidy.

If that's going to be the case shouldn't we move this to general?

Right then, a few questions ...........

Do you have 5 years experience with Office 2007? I see you are a fully certified DBA; can you write SQL? Do you live within 30 miles of our client, who has a strict carbon footprint policy? I’d like to put you forward for this role; can you provide two references?

And national insurance number as well as mother maiden name, town of birth, pin number.

Why don’t agents just ask for a bribe instead of all this bullshytte?
