surely the fact that it has been discussed here counts as a consultation

Do you know I have just logged in to ask if anyone had got GPDR accreditation as i have seen a number of contracts wanting it lately. So many thanks for this nugget and i will definitely do this

I've asked for a meeting with the compliance team about GDPR so it's now on my CV.

PM market is pretty good at the moment, especially if you have agile, financial services, digital or compliance on your CV...

Searching for new Contract

Hi All,

Been looking for my next gig since the holidays have finished ( 2 weeks). Have manage to get a few interviews in the PM market. Missed out on one, got a 2nd interview to go to on another, nailed a 3rd only for the client to change his requirement.

What have u found the market like? I have really had to work hard for the past 2 weeks and have been pleased with getting the interviews.

Thanks
