    What To Say When Asked By Recruiter For References Before Interview?

    Yeah, I can see them pushing back on accepting an agency as reference... :ohwell

    What To Say When Asked By Recruiter For References Before Interview?

    Very interesting stuff Gents, thanks for the insight... So, what's the sensible thing to say? "I know your just trawling for leads, so kindly do one... Unless you can give me the name of the client, and a proper JD"? Many thanks.

    What To Say When Asked By Recruiter For References Before Interview?

    Hi All, After reading around on here, I can see that a well known "scam" is that when called by a recruiter about a supposed position, they can/will ask for your references at this point, before your CV can be submitted. I understand that this information is then used by them to generate...

    Requesting A 6-Month Review With Client?

    Hi Guys, I'm coming towards the end of my first 6 months with the client... I generally don't get much in the way of feedback from them, but am always looking to improve professionally, and ensure they are happy with the service they are receiving. Would it be bad practice (and a very...

    Multiple Contractors Working Under 1 Company/Brand Name?

    So, if you've got different people, doing a different number of days work, it doesn't seem quite fair for them all to take the same basic salary? If one of them only ends up doing 1 day of work a month, but still ends up taking the same monthly salary as one of the others, doing 15 days in the...

    Multiple Contractors Working Under 1 Company/Brand Name?

    Thinking in more detail... The one thing I'd struggle with, is what their salaries would be Seeing ass the amount of work each person would do is variable both short term, and long term, setting the salaries could be tricky?

    Multiple Contractors Working Under 1 Company/Brand Name?

    Very interesting (and contrasting!) views there guys, thank you very much. Are there any other approaches they could consider? Obviously they are trying to make it as tax efficient as possible (aren't we all!)

    Claiming A Percentage Of Car Tax / Insurance

    Hi Gents, About 80% of the mileage done in my car is for work purposes... The car is owned by me, not the business, and I pay myself mileage of 45p/mile. Could I also claim back 80% of my annual car tax and insurance costs? Is this legit? Many thanks!

    Multiple Contractors Working Under 1 Company/Brand Name?

    Hi Gents, I'm relatively new to contracting, so please excuse the lack of insight. My mother and 2 of her colleagues (who are all retiring very shortly), are looking to set themselves up, and deliver educational consultancy/training into schools. They're planning to set up a business to do...

    Anyone Know About ERP?

    I suppose probably somewhere in the middle... I guess the issue there could be "Jack of trades, master of none"... :igmc:

    Anyone Know About ERP?

    Totally understand... Thanks for the input. Out of interest, what was your route into ERP?

    Anyone Know About ERP?

    Fair advice Murder... I suppose those would be a couple of routes in. I've been looking at online training courses... Could they be worth a punt? It'd mean I could pop ERP training on the CV, even if the experience isn't practical/work based yet...

    Anyone Know About ERP?

    Pretty much... With PM'ing being generally a lot of common sense and people skills, I'd hope to be able to work on ERP (maybe at a lower level at first), without being exposed to it first... But I don't want to go and blag a job, saying I've got ERP experience when that's not the case. Most of...
