So what you're saying is that a role that requires UK Security Clearance is being managed by an offhsore contractor who is not cleared to work on the programme?Originally posted by crimdon View PostLucky for me the interview will be with the end client not with the indian outsourcing company. Makes the post a sort of sub-sub contractor
A PM with some details would be most appreciated, oh dearie me yes...

That's what they will be looking for when they decide to hire you.

Well I'm not SC cleared but they are willing to pay for somebody to become SC cleared. I've been through advanced police checks though to contract for a police force.Originally posted by Menelaus View PostWorrying that: what Chinese walls (no pun intended) will there be in place to prevent the non-SC cleared getting anywhere near the data?

The 2 indian guys doing the interview had really strong accents. It was embaressing how many times I had to ask them to repeat the question.
I somehow feel I won't get any further
Was interesting that the only reason they were looking for a Brit dba was the role now has to be SC cleared and they can't get it themselves. Role on more roles that need SC

Just to further poke fun at CB, I'm sure I saw one of those documentaries with Michael Palin (or possibly the Paul Merton one) where he was eating with Indians and they said it was disgusting in their culture for someone to put any contaminated utensil in a communal dish - they would not be able to eat from it.Originally posted by Pondlife View PostCongrats
and make sure you don't go licking any communal spoons then putting them back into the condiments

Excellent news!
How wrong of me would it be if I were to suggest you spend the weekend sunbathing?

Speak to them in the language they understand "You are in needings of much cheapness. What is it that you are needings in? I am very much known as expert in that needings".
