Ex Colleague offered role now Client has cancelled project

It's his first foray into the Contracting world, he was lucky enough to be offered a 1 year contract (not Fixed Term) with a view to perm, but before he could start he was required to serve 3 months notice period for his perm role, which he did...- MasterP0

Where am I going wrong - help finding a new contract
Oh forgot to say, re: LinkedIn and you constantly updating it, WHY? Mine has only got the blurb (copied and pasted from my CV) in the summary, then each job just showing job title, duration and company name, then the usual recommendations and Skills and Endorsements. Also I've found that...- MasterP0

Where am I going wrong - help finding a new contract
Upload CV to job boards every Sunday night and remove every Friday night, this way you have a better chance of being in the top search results when Agents search for candidates. Revamp your CV, I've only got the one CV the displays both my PM & BA skills. So for example my last role was a hybrid...- MasterP0

Unusual request from Recruiter
Northern where does it imply/state I'm still thrashing this one out? I walked away from it, I've merely been responding to questions.....I guess you missed that because you are just to busy taking pot shots!- MasterP0

Unusual request from Recruiter
Agent sold it as "help them gather requirements", then when I asked for more information he forwarded the RFP for a Public Sector Org. I did flag that it would not be just the one hour, Agent was "fine" about this. They are a medium to large business having googled them so why aren't they...- MasterP0

Switching agencies post-offer from client
My personal experience: A couple of weeks ago I received a call from Agency B to discuss a potential role. I immediately told them that I had discussed this role with Agency A and believe to have been put forward for the role. Agency B went to investigate only to find that Agency A had never...- MasterP0

Unusual request from Recruiter
What do you mean? He's just replied saying no problem to Contract. I've stated he needs to insure the Contract states I can and will bill them for any/all hours worked.- MasterP0

Unusual request from Recruiter
Yes Northern, you're not the only one thinking that.......I've just emailed him to say I'd need a contract in place before travelling/attending and it would need to state I'd bill them based on hours worked. Hopefully because I've not requested something in writing this disappears!- MasterP0

Unusual request from Recruiter
I received a call from a Recruiter who had put me forward for a job a week ago and I was unsuccessful. Earlier this evening one of the agents from this recruitment company called me and then followed up with an email asking if I would do him a favour and could he call me back? Long story...- MasterP0

OP it is frustrating, it's not like you've applied to be CEO of the company which would warrant 3 interviews! I've had the same happen to me and the beauty about contracting is that you can decide what you are willing to put up with and what you won't put up with. Personally I think 2 stage...- MasterP0
