Yep, a nutless monkey could do what I do...

I should have phrased it slightly better but you just need to point out the internal resource has the required skills and was cheaper than you.

No need to lie then as they found an internal resource without a job to do in the company to replace you.

Thanks for the advice from those who gave. Decided that since it will be 3-months, to leave it on the CV. I'm being replaced by an Operations Manager anyway, so have built the story along lines of asked to get the Programme to Go Live and then handed over. Job done - nearly honest, gets the subject dealt with quickly. Now just got to go and find another gig...

So you've had 4 gigs in two years as a "programme manager". With all due respect, what kind of programmes are you managing? BBC Childrens TV? One simply does not have more than one gig in two years. You can't do much in six months. I wouldn't be worrying about a three month hole. It's the fact you've had 4 gigs in two years that will be a problem. If I was you, I'd select my next gig based on longevity alone, you need to have some longer gigs in there.

Nah Gumbo isn't part of that stable.

Places he mentions are different.

Link any better now?

Indeed it is, many thanks

Top one didn't seem to resolve for me, bud

The other one provided a convincing lead, however.

Per the links I posted, I think you're wrong and so did/do the mods

All of them share something very in common though, they don't half spout a load of BS

Na....Its Scroaty / Buggeridge / Phil Rouge / Plantswoman

To name but a few

Unless Gumbo was part of that stable?

If you get caught lying to a client (or potential client) then you will lose any credibility that you have - you only have to get someone at a new site who knows you to let it slip and there will be questions (rightly) asked.

Personally, I'd include it - you just need to be able to explain what happened and why you left. Put some decent spin on it and you'll be fine.

Absolutely this.
