Bear in mind I have not been working for 2 weeks and can't wait around too long waiting for contracts to get approved.

Originally posted by pmeswani View PostMy current Extended SC took about 3 months to arrive. Had to wait 6 weeks before I could be allowed to start at the client site, and a further 6 weeks before I was allowed to do any work. Wasn't happy with the 6 weeks wait, especially as I had a valid SC clearance previously.
What type of roles require a SC in the UK?

You should decide what to do rather on your circumstances. SC could be a very useful asset. It can take months to come through though.

Waiting for contracts to be approved
I have verbally accepted a contract role and am waiting for security clearance. This is being hampered by the Bebo obsessed donuts used to do the donkey work at the agency.
Meanwhile there was another job that I said I would accept if offered, from the previous week that had been put on hold pending a new HR boss coming in.
So right now I am in limbo waiting for either job to get moving. I don't have much faith in the agencies involved so feel that I will take whichever job comes to fruition first. Could this be regarded as unprofessional? Bear in mind I have not been working for 2 weeks and can't wait around too long waiting for contracts to get approved.Tags: None
