Contract Advice
Well the contract has now been terminated and the agency has their legal team on it and I am now waiting for PCG to ring me back. I agree with the no work no pay and personally I would prefer to earn my money but I'm going to at least try and salvage something out of this. More for the fact...- digerido

SC (Security Check) to Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) clearence
I've just gone through BPSS and it took just under 2 weeks from start to finish. As in forms being sent out to me, signing those off, including references, returning them and then for the vetting company to chase the references.

Consultation on Visa Limits
Were you meant to say 'any' notice rather than 'much' notice. I agree with your comments but I do live and hope. What has been happening over recent years is disgusting and personally I feel big companies have held the government in the palms of their hands! 'We can complete this project for...- digerido

Getting on an agents list
I'm from a vmware background and I always presumed that grid computing was just pooling resources and then slicing them up, much like clusters\resource pools in vi3 or vSphere. No doubt I'm missing something but if this is the case could I just add grid computing as a key skill to the CV or...- digerido

Getting on an agents list
Isn't internal cloud computing just another buzz word for internal architecture? I understand that services may be outsourced and hosted on the cloud\internet and once sla's can be managed this could take off but are there any concerns regarding security?- digerido

Background Screening Consent Form, First Advantage/HAYS
I think they have their fingers in many pies :) I've just been offered a banking role (first one, the form filling is putting me off though) and noticed Hays were involved. When I spoke to the agent it's because they (hays) look after all of the contractors details, regardless of which agency...- digerido

2nd to 3rd line
For 3rd line I agree with the solid awareness and understanding in a lot of fields but not technical expertise in each field. When I have met people in the past who claim to know everything in detail I am doubtful of them. I've found architects normally have an awareness of a lot of...- digerido
