PM Rates for Paris
Mate, many thanks for those suggestions - most helpful. FIW if I take this contract I plan to hire a car so will most likely do the budget hotels some nights and then check out the secret 'hidden' hotels on lastminute.com closer to the weekend/when the missus comes over. Gets a bit of balance...- Fac511

PM Rates for Paris
I am quite with you on that one to be frank. On a long contract a bed really is a bed, as long as its clean and warm of course. RE: F1's, do they still have communal showers/bathrooms though? When I was like 10 I remember staying in them on parents holidays with the communal showers/bogs...- Fac511

PM Rates for Paris
Thanks very much for that Fred. The research I have found for IT PMs is circa the £500 per day mark. I have also found that letting in France is pretty much a non goer. It turns out you need a local sponsor in order to lease a place and the whole paperwork can take months to complete. So think...- Fac511

PM Rates for Paris
Thanks for the feedback. I too have pounded all the job boards but can't seem to find any rates. Have used itjobswatch.co.uk and searched for London roles, thinking that London should be simular to Paris in terms of living costs. Hoping thats a sensible way to go? What I am dong is (as you say)...- Fac511

PM Rates for Paris
Hi All, Just had an offer direct from a client (through an ex contractor colleague who works there) for a Project Manager Role based just outside Paris in Versailles. Have no idea on rates there - as a ball park figure does anyone know what to expect with 8 years experience? They want to do...- Fac511

Rates in France
Just had a pimp on the phone asking how much I would want for a Test Manager role working near Nice in the South of France. Haven't a scooby about rates there, does anyone know? I imagine the cost of living down there is a tad on the heavy side? Any help appreciated - thanks.- Fac511

Contracting in the USA
I contracted out there last summer, although it was on an assignment for a UK based company (I worked for them previously and a new US based project came up). Anyway, all I would advise is paying experts up front to get all the paperwork (VISA's etc.) and company formation set up properly from...- Fac511

Rate based on number of CV's submitted
Agree with BrokenGKey - it will be some new student drop out on their first week of work. I wouldn't say its a way recruitment agents are heading (officially anyway!).- Fac511

CV Gap Advice
Personally I don't see it as a blocker when hiring, but do like to know what has been going on while someone has been away. Your explainations sound plausable enough - just speak the truth - much better than spinning a lie and potentially being found out! If your worried about not even getting...- Fac511

Best Places to Look for new Jobs
Thanks for the repsonces. I have to say I only concentrate on JS and CWJ day to day as (as you say) they seem to cover all jobs ever posted and the extra time to do the others doesn't really make it worth while. So the suggestion of using the Contract Search Wizard makes that job even easier...- Fac511

Best Places to Look for new Jobs
Hi All, I've been contracting for 7 years now and just come back onto the market after being in contract pretty much for the last 3 years. So it's been a while since I last started really hammering the job boards.... I just wondered what people think are the best job boards to look for...- Fac511
