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

    Could be 2 weeks still
    Even agent says he understands if I want to look else where.

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

    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

    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.

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