Reply to: New Contract signed, Start date TBA?

[psychocandy]

Agent called me just to apologise and say the contract has been cancelled as the Suppler "jumped the gun" in signing the contractors before they had the budget agreed with the end client.
Lesson Learned

Like I said, agent sort of knew this was going on last time you spoke....

Correct. You are on a roll here.

Correct. Bank starts with the second letter of the alphabet.

You win a gold star.

Well they say the budgets agreed but the end client are not sure when about the start date.
Could be 2 weeks still
Even agent says he understands if I want to look else where.

Means agents knows theres very little chance if it happening and hes almost given up!

PC should have been a footie pundit: 'Well, either side could win it, or it could be a draw.' (Ron Atkinson)

"That shot is impossible. I saw Yaya Toure do it once." (Michael Owen).

Back on track; lesson learned. Been there done that, opportunity cost of approx. £10k as I'd turned another contract down.

I can now see why you are so good at all this.

Genius

Because I'd gone through all their security checks and they said it should be end of March start.
But that became the beginning of April, And now it's looking like mid to End of April!
I've started looking about as I cant afford any more bench time

[BrilloPad]

I did once get a start date that was postponed by a week.

Why did you sign a contract with no start date?

I don't understand why you consider yourself off the market.

Agree with NLUK. It'll either happen or it wont.

Hope you haven't lost heart

I'm still sat here claiming JSA, waiting and hoping. It'll happen. You'll see. Good ol' Gil will close the deal.
